I'm going to have to start chopping some new ones pretty fast to keep up with everyone! When I started this blog, I had about 600 chops in my Photobucket gallery. I think I've posted about 1/2 of them, but some aren't Casey Shainhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15654097774209894695noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-491858821724608028.post-47124704822930089592010-07-28T21:20:46.921-04:002010-07-28T21:20:46.921-04:00Hi casey...I feel bad...I commented on this chop t...Hi casey...I feel bad...I commented on this chop this a.m. but it must not have gone through..hmmm. <br />Won't "recreate" what I wrote first time, but all I can say is you can post a "Mustang a day" and I will never grow weary of it...<br />Love how YOUR chop looks! <br />mare<br />"hi everyone"!!marejohnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03903554421867897659noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-491858821724608028.post-81852690848742788282010-07-28T16:00:03.324-04:002010-07-28T16:00:03.324-04:00PX: That's a really good idea.

I don't really like to use 'personal' photos that I've found online due to possible privacy issues, although I've used a few in the past-the '64 Tbirds come to mind.

All the carmakers -- US, Japan, Europe -- made some terrible but probably necessary choices. Just think of rubber-bumper MGs and 74-78 Matador sedan and wagon. Mercedes sold the S-class from 74-79 with some of the ugliest and most industrial-lookng bumpers and Americans bought them.

It really popped when I added the chrome bar across the back intersecting the round logo. I really like those Torinos and Montego. I like both of those cars right up to the '72 models. From '73 on, with those awkward bumper, they were never the same to me.<br /><br />Hi Granny—it's going toCasey Shainhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15654097774209894695noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-491858821724608028.post-40909904647037667492010-07-28T11:08:37.558-04:002010-07-28T11:08:37.558-04:00HI CASEY.NICE CHOP THIS MORNING BUT IT WILL NEVER ...HI CASEY.NICE CHOP THIS MORNING BUT IT WILL NEVER TOP MY LAZYBOY CHOP.LOL.

The tailight (is that correct or is it taillight?) treatment puts me very much in mind of the 68/69 Fairlane/Torino, one of my favorites of the late 60s. I would love to see what you could do with that chop to make it into a Cougar! Or a Continental Mark X! I think Ford is ignoring a valuable asset in the Mustang chassis.

Much sleeker and sexier. I remember when this concept was introduced and I never liked the taillight design they used, yours is a marked improvement. Only thing I would have done differently is to have "chopped in" an subtle integrated spoiler along the upper trunklid - not unlike the production Lamborghini phantomXhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13250791056393523096noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-491858821724608028.post-54274257563066516772010-07-28T02:37:59.795-04:002010-07-28T02:37:59.795-04:00Hi Casey (May I call you "Casey"?
