Re: *** 1953 Chevrolet Chop..... I know, another one!!!***
Ian,
A really talented local guy worked a day job in the refinery as a boiler maker, he kept at a small side gig doing custom wrought iron work and for "other" interests restored old brit bikes. After 6 years of "leaning into it", his bills were paid off (from the daqy job paycheck) right after that the side gig really took off with a couple local architects selling his gates/fences/entryways/awnings..... that was 10 years ago. Now he spends everyday in the shop, when he gets tired of the iron work and trip hammer racket he will change up and spend the rest of the day on the other side of his shop on a vintage ducati. Right on man work your plan! |

Re: *** 1953 Chevrolet Chop..... I know, another one!!!***
What a reward! I'm blown away by all the positive comments! Thanx everyone , it means. A whole lot man! I worked so hard to make it look right and I'm sure you guys are like me...... You always doubt yourself a little but, especially after looking at it for 6 straight weeks! Lol! I'd love to respond to very post but I'm the iPhone and it's a bitch! My wife and I are in DC doing the tourist thing and all the museums! To the ones who live here, what a great city! I live history!
Thanx soooooo much guys! You've made My day! |

I wish I'd had a little forewarning before I saw those finished pics outside the garage. Would have been nice to slide a condom on before looking. Could a saved a little mess here on this end. Love it Ian. Excellent work.

Re: *** 1953 Chevrolet Chop..... I know, another one!!!***
I will be honest, those years I liked but never thought of buying one. Now I want to buy one, drop it off with you and let you work the magic.
Very well done sir, very well.
