Nice n low, but the proportions are a bit wack. I wish someone would slice one of these 3" just above the beltline, maybe with an inch or two off the lid...Workin Stiff

This guy has been trying to sell this for a couple of years, along with a couple other overpriced stepdowns. I have to give him credit for sticking to his guns on price :woohoo:

Ten thousand dollars plus whatever it would cost to put an original top back on.

I bet it would be harder to "un-chop" a car than to chop it. I like 'em both....chopped and original. I had never seen a chopped Jet before....it looks better than I thought it would.

I'd like to see a side view of this thing. It looks like it was a four door made into a two door? Maybe? Then they chopped it and moved the back window forward about six inches?
I've talked to someone about doing a custom Jet. Turning four into two doors, moving the back of the cab forward, slight chop, and section just above the belt line. As someone mentioned earlier. Then making new quarters. Probably never happen. I think he came to the conclusion the Jet was a bad starting point all together.
I have some pics around here somewhere???....

Love everything about the "photo-chop", Perry... except the rear end. I actually like that '54-Ford-like posterior on the Jet. Imagine a wild Jet custom with a modern bent 8. Makes me wonder why no one tried a Jet gasser in the 60's.Workin Stiff -

The picture you posted looks like a Hudson Gasser.....never seen one of those before either
Not sure exactly what they did to this Jet, but looks pretty cool. How's the boat-tail coming?
Thanks!

This is probably more of the look I'd aim for.....but they're all cool!!

YES! Much better! That looks pretty good, doesn't look like a Jet at all.

This is the real car. Years ago it was black, and for sale. I wanted it real bad but my Dad wouldn't let me have it. It had a 350 Chevy in it then. If I'm not mixing my cars up in my head.:blink:

Yknow Perry, slammed like a stepdown stepchild those quarters look pretty sweet. Or slammed with the stockers. Or slammed with the fins. Hmmmm.... starting to detect a pattern, here... :dry:Workin Stiff -
I would be shocked if anyone did anything close to these custom mods. But if they do, I wanna' see it!
The one that "lsfirth" did looks the best to me. But man-o-man, that glass would be a challenge to get right.
