| Looks like the bottom half of the car was removed and the body mounted lower. I have never seen a front end like that. Looks pretty wild! |

Yeah, the car is slammed (or "reverse chopped" as the owner called it).
But it was just the front end that caught my attention. |

Me neither.
But I could use that front-end in my next project. |

| The body was sectioned or channeled...this is when you remove a section of the entire body belt line to lower the cars height...to me it looks like the guy removed 6-8 inches...this body mod was first done in the 50's...I think it looks really cool! |
