I don't know what the chop is on Cole Porter's old Salinas Boy's truck that he drove for years on end before selling it to Jesse James. It looks right in that you really see the whole truck before you see the chop.
I agree 100% on the bulbous nose thing though and that often gets accented when guys remove the bullnose and fill the seam along with removing the emblem |
I have probably told you, I personally gave him the paint that is on that truck when I was a paint rep. I used to stop by his shop.
