Chopped Shoebox

[geezerman]

You may have seen this primer'd 49 in the background on my workbench
I chopped this way back when I received a care package from the guys at Skid's Place. There were two bodies. One was a  badly chopped attempt, obviously abandoned,

and the other one was pretty pristine. I liked the look that was attempted, so I went after the nice one.


I figured it would be just a shell on workhorses for background material as I had nothing to go with it.
Being in a waiting period on the current chopped 40, I started looking around, and found a frame that fit (kinda)


I'm working on more salvage stuff to get sort of an undercarriage on it also. This will still be a background piece for other fotos.

Going to bare metal look, and this photo is showing 'welds' being daubed on with gorilla glue ( like Elmer's carpenter glue) with a tooth pick.

Gorilla glue is great. I use it for almost everything. I've never seen it come out white before.

Turned clear after it dries. I used a few fresh dobs for the foto.

Well, this is as done as it'll get. Intended merely as a background photo prop.

I like it. Very convincing.

Looks great Clay! Are you going to weather it a bit? The weld beads would look awesome.

Except for doing the front brake drum like the rear, or shiny as a replacement, it looks fine. As you say, partly done, great idea.
