Chopped (done well) is almost always better. Looking good so far.  :D

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 chop looks good. I once had the same idea. 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 👍

You have nice proportions with your chop and lengthened doors. Well done

Thanks! I often trust my gut when it comes to restyling.....and things work out most of the time 🤪

Man, what a concept and execution. 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.

That will certainly motivate the SD.   

Agreed! Especially if it's not hauling anything 😉
