I would never cut straight through the back window like that, or quarter the roof for that matter

I know the car well. I've seen it a thousand times. Good advertising for Precision Collision, NOT. It's been sitting outside for over 6 years. It's junk. Big time. The only thing that would help that car is a crusher.
This piece of fine workmanship is only about 5 miles from me. Geeeeezzz.:rolleyes:

I don't know the first thing about chopping but it looks like it should now be a convertible

Glad I agree with you guys... man o man I would cut it all off... try to save the windshield frame... cap the doors and make it a convertable... sectioned, lowered with the doors welded shut low enough that you could jump in.... what a POS, like you said... why even have your company name attached to it?

Let see...a body shop selling off what they say is a great deal for somebody to do the rest of the body work...hmmm... can you say instead of "customer ran out of money"...customer probably or should have sued our a$$ess for destroying their vehicle:eek:

Yah think maybe the customer realized that they didn't have have a freakin clue what they were doing..He says the customer didn't have any money?? I think when the customer saw what they done he was was smart enough to cut his loss and run like hell......That is about as bad as any thing I has ever seen...ANd he had the balls ta post it and admit to doing it..:eek::eek:gee what a mess...anyway there is always lots-a-more drs of them .......

You guys are just too fussy. Isn't it the ZR-6 Corvette that has the swoopy "bubbles" on the roof for helmet clearance? I'm sure this guy had the same idea.

This isn't the only victim around. I have seen two different '51 Merc four doors that this happened to. Actually three! One became a convertable and it is still around. The second one , the owner was shopping around for a new roof. And the third is considered a parts car for my buddy who collects Mercs. And it's amazing that they were all '51 four doors. These guys don't realize how much more dificult it is to chop a four door than a tudor. And add in that big back window and it can become over whelming.

Its funny you should mention 4 dr Mercs.... My buddy has a 49 4 dr. that has a chop that is similar to this pontiac....We are currently looking for a roof for it too..

A lot of fabrication on a four door. This one has a '49 back window.

If that four door was mine, it would have come straight down. Owner wanted it lower in the back. I just do what the owner wants. To a point!
