Agreed👍 Many of these old 40s/50s cars have tops that were designed to be really tall for increased interior space as well as 'hat space'. Everyone wore hats back then! 🙂

The project stalled because it was more difficult than I thought. It's still in the stash somewhere. Thanks! Yeah, the chop is not as easy as it looks. Hopefully you'll get back to yours at some point 👍

I've a spare delivery just like this one and it's definitely getting chopped as well. Kudos to you 👍 Thanks! Yeah man, go for it! It'll look a lot better with a haircut 😉 You'll have to decide how to line up the rear once you bring the top down when you line up and reattach the A pillars. Some people lean the windshield back, others 'stretch' the top by cutting it in the center and adding a strip. I elected to pie cut the rear window area and lean it out rearwards and lean the bottom of the rear door area forward slightly.
