Nothing sweeter than a chopped "T" and probably one of the easiest chops to do as well. She's lovely :) A video on the top fill would be nice to see also.
Another video with good content. Look forwards to the insert. A little is sometimes better than a heavy chop. You explain in detail and that’s good for the young blood in are hobby, sport. Looking forwards to the Ardun swap as well. Take care.Tim.
starting with a near perfect body makes the chop so much easier . All the Ts I have found up here are badly mutilated, usually been through a few fires and never complete. Nice to see someone get a deceny one; thanks for the video.
Nice work with the chop, looks pretty good to my eyes. Only thing i dont like in this are the visible welds. There are a lot of things i dont understand and thank god i dont have to.
Thanks. Yea I probably would have ground the welds and metal finished it out, but like I mentioned in the video, it can always be done later! Thanks for watching!
Good video, thanks for taking us along for the ride. However lol, you said that car never had an insert or glass and I can assure you that when it rolled out of Highland Park it had glass and a completely weather proof cloth top.......but I know what you meant !!! I know it might be difficult to get the top fabricated and video it at the same time but I hope you can do that for us. 👍
...hi Lee...I've watched Brent at Halfass Customs do a few chops, and it seems to me, the most important thing is to have no fear, and just go ahead and go for it...of course, a little skill never hurts.......nice work......
Cool! I like northern Idaho. Spent a lot of time in Bonners Ferry and Sandpoint area. Stripped the top end of a Flathead ford down on the side of the highway in Lewiston once to replace a broken valve keeper haha
Hay Good bye to Jim ! Dork no you look very spiffy with safety glassses on. Much better than my students all trying to look cool protecting the eyes on top of there heads. Nice work Lee. Oh I have a 1960 Thunderbird 460 powered, 1930 Model A roadster 8ba 3 speed tower top open shaft to banjo rear, 1950 meteor 8ba 1940 Packard 6 flathead. I have more but the these are my daily summer drivers here in Ontario Canada east of Toronto.
Hi Lee and shop crew . Model T chop went really great . Will Mike paint stitches were the welds are ? Saw it on a chopped later 1930's sedan delivery back in the '70s . Red oxide primer and Frankenstein lettered on the side . There was also the wording ," Major surgery complete , plastic surgery is all we need." Weekend almost here ... have fun you guys !
@@LGKustoms it help me get down into tight spots on bike frames and it helped me see what I was doing better..old guy thing I guess lol but I see alot of main stream welders who are really good using them I wouldn't go back . Guess to each his own.
@@LGKustoms Well Mike.....Somebody broke into my shop, in the middle of the night, and ground down all those welds.....Sorry.... But we think it was Frank Schwartz.

I LOVE YOUR CHANNEL!!!! PLEASE CONTINUE TO SHARE YOUR TRUTH!!!!

Thanks. I think the 5” is a huge improvement. A little more may have looked good too, but Mike who owns the car is pretty tall!
WOW!!! THAT LOOKS FACTORY!!!! I LOVE IT!!!!
Awesome job Lee!! You made that look easy buddy. And Hell Yes to the Blown Ardun Hemi !!!!
Thanks Troy!
Wild that you cut 5 inches out and it gets the proportions perfect!
Yea that’s a huge amount! 5” on a model A is hammered!

Yea this was a really nice body! The doors open and close like a new Cadillac
thanks for sharing, was cool to see how you do the chop.
Thanks for watching!
That is awesome work and a really nice T
Thanks. Not sure who originally built the T, but it’s a home built car.
Nice job guys
Thanks!
Great job explaining what you were doing & why Lee.
Keep up the great work!
Thanks for watching
I would love to see a video on the roof insert! Great job on the chop!

TOTALLY AWSOME VIDEO!!!! I AGREE WITH YOU 100%!!!!!!

I’ll give it a try!

That is definitely the most important. And don’t overthink it! It’s just metal.
I’m thinking about chopping my 30 4dr Plymouth after watching your video. Looking great! From north Idaho.

@@LGKustoms I’m actually in Sagle just across the long bridge south of Sandpoint.
T really looks good with the chop, awesome job. I hope you are able to do a video of the top installation as well. Blown Ardun, yes please...
Yea a top video might be fun!
Looked like fun , good job!
Looking good! Thanks for sharing!
Thanks for watching!
Well kiddo you made that look easy. Awesome job Lee 👍🏼👍🏼🛠️🇨🇦🛠️
Thanks Badge

That’s a nice line up! Have you seen our 60 Thunderbird t shirt? I drove a 60 Thunderbird daily for almost 10 years
Great job looks great.
Thanks!
Thank you for posting this and doing a good job at it. I still need to chop my 27. I’m going to chop 10ft out of it 😂
Haha that’ll be a pretty heavy chop!

I think he said he just wants to polish them with a wire wheel and leave them bare metal.
Hmmm, I see no wood in this. I would be VERY interested in seeing what it took to replace the wood. Subscribed!
They don't run much of anything to replace the wood. Chopping the top will make it stiffer but they flex a lot.
Yea that’s a great question. I didn’t do any of the wood removal, but if I do another video on this car I’ll try to remember to get some shots for you
Good job guys !! Props on using tig welds ...try a #12 fupa cup sometime with a gas lens ....it really changed my tig welding for the better.
I’ll look in to the fupa cups. I’ve experimented with Pyrex cups before, and honestly couldn’t notice a difference.

"Mike doesn't want the welds ground down"
Hmmmmmm..........(bad words)
They can always be ground down in the future
@@LGKustoms Well Mike.....Somebody broke into my shop, in the middle of the night, and ground down all those welds.....Sorry....
But we think it was Frank Schwartz.
Looks perfect 👍 😎👍
Thanks!
Great video 👍
Thanks for watching!
Love watching chop videos. Looks awesome. I would grind the welds, but that's just me. Are you going to chop your new car?
Yea I’d grind the welds too. My 32 sedan and 29 roadster both have pretty heavy chops already. The 47 I’m not chopping.
@@LGKustoms thanks for the reply. Keep up the awesome videos.
I NEED TO BUY SOME OF YOUR MERCHANDISE. TO SUPPORT YOUR CHANNEL!!!
Lots of merch available at www.lgspeedkustom.com
HAPPY RAT ROD SATURDAY!!!!
What year is that?
1926 or 1927. When they’re this stripped down it’s hard to tell exactly what year.
@LGKustoms I just purchased a 1926 and that one looks killer. Any information on what he has done to it? Frame engine trans? Keep up the great work
