Foxer Posted November 28, 2009 Posted November 28, 2009 I love the look of this car and maybe some others will appreciate it also. It's been around since 1954 and now with second owner Skip Rapp. The story of this vehicle can be found here. Here is a build currently on th ebench, though off to the side at the moment, of something inspired by this car.. Quote
george 53 Posted November 28, 2009 Posted November 28, 2009 Interesting story Mike, but, even as nice as it came out, I STILL woulda chopped the roof on that rascal!!! Quote
Foxer Posted November 28, 2009 Author Posted November 28, 2009 I think that always becomes the ultimate discussion on this puppy, George .. to chop or not to chop. I keep looking at the one I started and like the "top hat" look, that tall top sitting on the low "brim". I think any chop would have to me mild. 2" max if that much. Remember too, the 1:1 car was a daily driver in it's early years so not chopping the top could have been just practical. Quote
george 53 Posted November 28, 2009 Posted November 28, 2009 Yeah, I can understand that. As an everyday driver,ya'd hafta think about stuff like that. Actually DOES make it easier for everyday use. But wat the heck, even a LITTLE chop wouldn'ta hurt! Quote
crazyjim Posted November 28, 2009 Posted November 28, 2009 Don't listen to them Mike - DON'T CHOP IT! It looks right the way it is. Quote
