Chopping a 105 series
WHO WILL DO IT!!!! been searching for ages...
I like it, I like it alot Hope he does better work normally than he did on the new model goldy coloured extra cab Hilux in his photo galleries. We spent nearly a week trying to fix up the bodge he did on the toolboxes in it and sometime the owner still wants the underslung toolboxes and the tray fixed. For the money I've not seen anythign as rough. The owner is seriously still thinking of selling the whole tray/toolbox set up and starting again. The fit and finish was quite poor not to mention the welding splatter (melded into ) all over his rear window.Barno111 wrote:Wide bay motor bodies! i work just down from him and he does a great job!

Thats how its suppossed to look. Following the window line. Nice clean lines almost factory.
I do agree though. There is no shortage of butchered chop jobs being done.
The green one at the top of page is the best Ive seen in terms of good proportions and clean factory looking lines.
. Seriously though, even if the chop was done for free in the first pic. Youd have to shoot yourself - or take it to these other guys and folk out the $10 000
TRhe green one is slightly mis proportioned, it needs longer roof, and pillars, and the rear fender flare section on the back needs to be bigger.
Black satin wheels with body color beadlock rings would really set it off.
The front bar and rear bar also need to be a dark grey, like the body strip, so they dont get lost in a black fog, and look more 3 dimensional.
Some rough chops, but gives the idea. [probably more noticable in the skin] but the quality of the work is good.

Well, when spending money, if another 10 or 15% gives the client exactly what they want, vs a close likeness, I would spend the extra every time.TheBigBoy wrote:LOL... You dont moonlight as an interior decorater in your spare time do you assassin. Atleast you know what you want.
Then you never drive it round all that time its finished with that little voice in the back of your head going "I wish I had of done it while it was apart"
Cutting a truck, and making it what you want should be more about exactly what it should be, even if it takes longer, than how quick, or how little it costs.
When you get that one right, its the one you keep for 10 years, and dont want to see it go.

lay off the crack pipe dude. that top one looks far better. yes the rear wall is vertical, but the tray looks closer to factory. The bottom one is stupid, how retarded is it to say that a sloping rear wall looks good when it leaves a gap at the top of the vertical tray canopy combo it has on. and slapping a short little cab chassis tray on a cut job just screams "i'm a chop job and havn't put any thought into it at all."TheBigBoy wrote:

At the end of the day none of these jobs are going to look factory because guess what? the factory never released a 105 series ute did it. at least not to the general market.
