it seems a bit unreal becuz of the rear wheel but IMO a chop hasnt to be that realistic...

tapasspinners · 09-11-2006, 07:38 PM

wow...i love it. great choice of rims and overall a damn good chop.

giantclam · 09-11-2006, 09:49 PM

Tom, your ideas and brushing are great, especially in some of the more subtle areas.
but..... the wheels?
they are detracting from your hard work.
change them out and you will have a corker!

twistedspeed · 09-11-2006, 10:19 PM

Really hot dude, wheels are strange but overall is awsome.
The brush is awsome!

I don't know why people don't like the wheels, I guess they can't handle a lil old school five spoke. Don't let them make you think for a moment it looks bad, the whole thing is beautiful, period.

on the contrary, the wheels themselves are hot. (i looked at a set similar for my car, ended up with some beefier looking 5 spoke. speedy envy MKII, speedywheels.com.au )
but on this chop they just look good (despite; wonky angles, a strange colour and dubious lighting), the rest of the chop is fantastic, so why settle for plain old good?

ahhhh, really nice bodywork....runied by the rims & wheels...sorry man but thats just beyond even fictional !!!

..unless it just fell off a cliff or ?...maybe eyeballs and a tounge hanging out the front may make it work ???

macguel · 09-12-2006, 02:36 AM

very nice work, i think that the rims are bad ***, i like the back rim tucks. the only thing that i see, is the molding on back tire is still for a 4 door, and the back window put the frame back in.

IntegraDC2typeR · 09-12-2006, 03:44 AM

Omg well, im not gonna win

cd_customs · 09-12-2006, 05:14 AM

I went for extreme design on this chop, so I oversized the rims a bit, and I let them ''enter''(?) in the bodykit especially for the back one ...
the angle of them are not perfectly 90degrees if you know what I mean, more like 100degrees, again its just for the extreme looking

I understand that people have different opinion about things,peoloe love and people hates.

giantclam, I just dont understand the point of ''lightning'', I know it cant be perfect but I think its not that bad, the source of light in this pic is kinda upper right corner as for the rims ...
could you explain your point to me?

thx again for tha comments, is it ma best? imo it is

giantclam · 09-12-2006, 08:57 PM

kind of,
but first you must know i was not in anyway trying to degrade what you have done, i was being REALLY picky because of the top quality of the work you have done.
also i like the wheels and love the size of them.
if you look down the side (lower doors) of the car the body work is in shadow due to the light source being from above, the wheels are brighter.
my opinion may not be technically correct, but this is what i feel when i look at the chop.
as for the angle, my personal taste would have prefered the wheels to be up straight and the the arches brought out over them (wide body?).
have you tried alternate wheels??
this is your best chop!

yes, as I know you, I know that you wont degrade others people's chop and I respect that.
I think I see what you are trying to say...
yes Ive tried other rims but those fits the way I wanted to make the chop...
