51 Chevrolet Fleetline Roof Chop

As promised here is the Catch up video and slide show for the roof chopped 1951 Chevrolet Fleetline Deluxe known as Area 51. This is not really a how to video. Just kinda giving a description of how did mine. 2020 Lockdown was a weird and surreal time for everyone no doubt, Having a new project ready to go was a great way to keep busy and positively distracted. Here in New Zealand our main lockdown started the end of March 2020 and being that I work in close quarters with my clients, I couldn’t work at the studio for 7 weeks!! Fortunately I had not long taken ownership of this 51 Fleetline and had already started to create a plan of what I wanted to do with it. I’ve always wanted to do a roof chop and I figured since I wanted to build a sled the 51 was gonna be my first (maybe last). I’ve since found out that chopping these fast back style aero sedans is one of the trickier chops to do. Who’d have thunk it. Subscribe and stay tuned for more updates on the Area 51 project I’ve got heaps to do on this. Cheers Dave Instagram @davemcewanillustratecreate
