I am familiar with the more common terms used to describe body mods - like chop, french, shave, etc., but what do the terms nosed , decked and pancaked mean ? Thanks in advance!
nosed and decked are when you remove all the chrome from the hood and deck lid. Pancaked is when you take a section out of the side of the hood to "flaten it". Gets the big hump out of it and makes it look more modern.
Thanks for the response, Bob. I did that - pancaked, I mean to my '53 Riv- just didn't know the term! I removed the front emblem along with 3 1/2" out of the front of my hood. But - no way will I lose the gunsight! Before, my car was always driving "uphill", even with the front suspension dropped 2 1/2"
