Join me for an exciting 3-day Chop Class from September 19 - 21. Together, we'll be chopping a 1950 Ford 2 Dr Sedan! Whether you’re here to learn, participate, or just hang out, this will be an unforgettable experience. Don’t miss it.
WHAT TO EXPECT
Friday: We’ll kick things off with layout planning and a casual pizza night in the shop. It’s a great chance to meet everyone and get familiar with the project. (Last class we cut the roof off to end the night)
Saturday: This is the big day! We’ll make all the necessary cuts and lower the roof to see the transformation come to life. While I’m aiming for a 4-inch chop, if someone purchases the car, they’ll have input on the final look. This class isn’t just about chopping this car—it’s about understanding the principles behind it.
You’ll learn:
- Why specific cuts are made and how to achieve your desired look.
- How to realign the glass once the roof is lowered.
- The importance of bracing and how to prevent unwanted movement.
- Different types of chops and their unique challenges.
I’ll answer all your questions and help you gain the confidence to tackle a chop on your own vehicle—or just enjoy being part of this unique project! Lunch will be catered with tacos, and we’ll accommodate any allergies—just let me know in advance.
Sunday: We’ll focus on reassembling the pieces we didn’t finish on Saturday. This includes shaping new metal for the sail panels around the back window. Everyone will have the opportunity to make one of these panels! It’s like a mini metal-shaping class where you’ll learn to shrink and stretch panels using simple tools.
