Riassunto

Chica. Jerry Covington. Cory Ness. Dave Perewitz. Mondo Porras. Jesse Rooke. Roland Sands. These are the Lucky Seven, chopper builders whose bikes have forever changed the face of the custom motorcycle world. And, thanks to the popular Discovery Channel show, Biker Build-Off, the builder's own faces have become as recognizable as the motorcycles they build. In Top Chops: Master Chopper Builders, you are taken inside the world of these artisans of kinetic metal, providing the ultimate behind-the-scenes look at the inner workings of a master craftsman's chopper shop. These fascinating builders are creating rolling works of art, captured in stunning photography by Michael Lichter. Included are one-of-kind photos from their personal collections, chronicling their start as young enthusiasts to top-chop builders today. Forward written by Billy Lane.

Recensione

Thought this book is freshly out, it's not a new book, it's a reprint of an out of print book with lower production standardas, meaning it uses copies of the old black and white images and thinner paper. However, if you're thinking of undertaking a roof chop, it's an invaluable resource, laying out in detail the various techniques and processes - both theoretical and practical - that every good chop should go through. The 150-page book is divided into chapters, which between them cover the start-to-finish chops of a Model T coupe, Model A sedan (including filling the roof), a '34-window coupe, '39 Plymouth four door, '41 convertibal, '60 Oldsmobile sedan, and a '66 Dodge Charger. In short, the majority of diffrent roof styles you're likey to come across. Don't start a chop withour reading this first. --Custom car magazine, August 2008
