Came across these photos in my files. The Martinez decal in the window is a reference to the car show sponsor, rather than the builder, I believe. It's not a very nice chop but is interesting as it's a late-model, short decklid car. Anyone know whose it was or what happened to it?

I can't see the photos (school filter blocks most pictures!) but the only two late model chop tops I can think of are an orange one and a green one with yellow windows. Am I close? Grin

Well, I'm home and can see the pictures now but I'm still none the wiser! I think the chop is superbly done, but a bit too much for me. I'd have to slam it all round, moon discs and scallops and make a salt flats car out of it!  Cheesy Remember Al Barnett's 105E? Wink

The other car has a very different chop – much heavier and it's a ’68-on model. Anyone else?

Lousy chop IMHO. Loses all the curve and makes it look smooshed. Back rear window area looks awkward the way they laid the windshield down.
