t coupes.... Chopped or not???

Chop it about 6". People look kind of stupid crawling out of cars.

 

No chop ,channel enough to cover frame

 

Keep it tall....

 

Who has a picture of the unchopped '60s style T coupe that's flat black with purple flames? That's my favorite T of all time, just needs shinier paint.

 

Gotta Chop it, I think 6" is just aboiut right. I haven't chopped mine yet but here are pics of now and what it will look like once it's chopped, the proportions are just so much better after the chop!

 

Cut 'er up. But don't go too nuts. And I'm diggin' the wedge chop of the above, Mr. 26TCoupe

 

7" for ya'.

 

I don't know man, I think the Goldenrod has the perfect amount of chop.

 

for a diff look my son and i took a free coupe body with roof already cut off and under a shed, then chopped and installed a model a sedan roof cut down to a 5w. cant load pics but you can see in this summer trad rod & culture mag, i think issue before last.............................t/a coupe
p.s. to get correct belt line all around i had to split the cowl and raise 2 inches, about where a model a tank line is, else the bottom of the w/s is lower than the side glass.
p.p.s. also model a door tops spliced at the t side mould line finishes all and looks like a very late 27 model if there was one.......thanks

 

Here's the one I was talking about.

 

I like the coupes tall and the sedans chopped a bit. But if your looking to flip it and make some cash you better chop it

 

this one was only chopped 1" & a 1/2...because they look so much better unchopped...can't you tell..hahahhaaha.

 

no,,i'm just kidding,,,i actually chopped it a lil more that 1 1/2...

 

Chop IT I chopped mine 5''. My vote is chop

 

Gotta go yes on the T chop, the rusty one pictured above looks about right.

 

HEY!,,it wasnt that RUSTY!...it was actually pretty damn solid !!!yeah,,it was covered in surface rust,,,and i repaired the lower cowl and replacced the inner and outter lower doors,,but that thing was solid!!!!

 

well..now that you mention it,,,it is pretty RUSTY by california standards,,,,

 

So,its kinda half and half. Some like it tall, and others wanna whack it.
I am really wondering here. I mean a model A yells out to be chopped, and my 32 is smashed, but Ts are a lil different...????

 

ahh... mercury charlies coupe... big inspiration for me..

as far as the question of chop or not to chop, it's really up to you..

i kept mine unchopped initially because my body was so cherry i felt bad chopping it up. Then it became sort of a challenge for me to keep decent proportions with the unchopped body..

 

Chop it just like the one Sam pictured above. THAT is a perfect 26-27 coupe chop!!!

 

Chop it a little 5" should be about right and then channel it. That would work for me, but I'm tall. If I were shorter, I could see another couple of inches off the top.

 

Wouldn't it look better like this though........


very nice car though, not trying to take away anything from how it looks now, I just like 'em better chopped.

 

I like both. Just depends... I don't think I'd ever want a severe chop on one that was mine, and a slight chop almost seems not worth the work since they look good tall.

 

As far as T coupes go, they don't get any nicer than this one.

 

my vote is to chop the hell out of it

 

6 1/2 in the front 5 in the back, just enought to give it a little rake to the roof

 

that is 10in

 

Not
