which type saw

[redzed]

i've never chopped a top before but would like to build a 32 3 window as a salt flats car.

which type saw is prefered ? teeth or no teeth , pull saw ? i did buy the razor blade and wood handle one but have not used it yet,

i would imagine the putty and sanding is the time consuming hard part.

thank you for any responce.

Either saw should work.  Rather than cut along both cut lines in any of the pillars, cut between them, then remove material from each half to get to the amount you want to remove.

Getting everything level can be difficult, getting things to line up can be tough also.  The puttying and sanding are just the finish steps, spend your time on the steps leading up to that.  Perfect paint and putty won't cover misaligned parts!

I used a Tamiya photo etch saw for this chop. First I made parallel scribe lines where I wanted the cuts to be. The more accurate you are with the cuts, the less filing, filling and sanding to do. I don’t have pics of my ‘32 chop, but I think I used an exacto razor saw on it.
