Back to Basics....Freshly Chopped '48 Ford

I ran into this freshly chopped '48 Ford at the SoCal Speedshop Christmas party in Sacramento. It belongs to a friend of mine, Paul Garland, and while I knew that this chop was going down, I hadn't seen the car since he first purchased the car a couple years ago. Needless to say, I was blown away. Paul has always had a great eye and his work is top notch, but even knowing this, the dramatic effect of this traditional chop stopped me dead in my tracks. It's just heavy enough to be serious, but not smashed. The rounded door tops are pilars of perfection and he really should sell templates of those quarter windows! Hopefully I'll talk him into letting me shoot it somewhere with a little more ambiance.
