    You'd usually see T's with raked roofs but has anyone ever done a Model A/Deuce with a raked roof chop? Any pics?
    Thanks

    Sounds rather rat roddy and silly to me. But I am reading a radical wedge chop into what your wrote and not a slight wedge chop just to streamline things a tad.
    One of my best friends has a habit of saying that this rig or that rig is "radical" which 99% of the time I am going to know that said vehicle is a screwed up POS in my viewpoint.

    Yea no I'm not talking about anything rat rod-ish no way. I just mean like a slight raked roof or even a laid back roof for a streamlined, Salt Flats look

    Straight chop, no rake for 28 through 31 in my opinion...

    It's a wedge chop for sure. Do you have pictures?
