COTM - Chop of the Month - October 2008

I thought just like last year I would make the theme:

Halloween

I hope we get alot of entries this time.
Thanks for the picture suicidoors.

I will let it run til the end of the month and get a poll up first thing in November or as soon as we get 30 entries.
30 is the max for a Poll.

To get an idea what we are looking for here I am posting the original picture from last year and the picture that won.

bw4sale · 10-20-2008, 01:05 PM

Check it out here to see what you are all up against.

desertrat · 10-20-2008, 07:16 PM

I will go ahead and be the first. I wanted to do alot more to it but I didn't want to obsess over it.
Good Luck to all you other choppers.

Truck in downtown Sao Paulo, where it's still working long hours like it did 60+ years ago, when it was first introduced.

I just couldn't get any lazier... for the Halloween part, there's a black cat on the front seat (you can't see it... it's behind the door)

Arad68 · 10-21-2008, 01:48 AM

Here is my entry!!! (With A Little help from my wife!!!!...She's the best!!!)

Care to race???

bw4sale · 10-21-2008, 01:42 PM

Wow, this is some good stuff so far. One question for XXL, why is the cat driving the opposite direction of the buses around him?

bw4sale · 10-21-2008, 01:48 PM

Okay. I guess I'll go ahead and throw mine in. I haven't changed anything on it in about a week so I might as well. I really liked it till I saw some of your guys' chops. Very nice.

Orange · 10-21-2008, 04:18 PM

WOW! There is some REALLY nice stuff shown here.

Here's another attempt. It's gonna be a tough poll this month!

jonzcustomshop · 10-21-2008, 06:39 PM

All I have is windows paint...
So I did some body mods: chopped,sectioned,lowered, lenghtened the rear fenders and shortened the bed.
A quick shop logo for the halloween factor....

bw4sale · 10-21-2008, 11:11 PM

Ha ha! My wife and I are cracking up at Orange's mooning scarecrow.

Good Job but it´s the way you want it. I just suggested a theme.
It´s nice to see that you all are heading the same direction though.

Thanks ahead of time to everyone for submitting.

Keep them coming. Thanks!

bw4sale · 10-23-2008, 12:17 PM

I love the color layout on that last one. And the reaper in the smoke is a nice touch.

SkylineNXS · 10-23-2008, 06:21 PM

I didnt really mean me, haha, just in general, takes time to get things to flow right, shading and filters are my new best friend...lol
