    Very cool car! I dunno about a chop, but opera windows would probably help in the way of aesthetics.
     
  3. No chop! Definitely lower...

    It looks good without the chop, but maybe a 2 inch chop wouldn't hurt. The opera windows would definetly help. Can you round off the upper rear corner of the doors any??? I don't like the square corner.

    I really like the 3 window look,,,,it grows on you and is very unique and rare! Not going to round the door corners ! Just curious about chop or not!:D

    If it's unique and rare, maybe no chop. Save your time, effort, and $ to get 'er on the road, and enjoy it. Cool Nash coupe!

    Thats a hard one I can't deside. Maybe slant the B piller to the same angle as the back glass and call it done.

    when in dought chop it till you can just see out!
     
  12. I think it would look super awesome with a lowered lid if it's done correctly. Fashion it after the chopped 36 Ford 3 W customs like K Hammets. What are your plans for the ride height?

    Looks good chopped and lowered to me. This was done with a little rake--more chop in front than in back:

    Can I get a "Hell Yeah"? Looks fantastic, can any of you photoshop wizards put it in maroon, purple, or black?

  21. Chop it its just a damned old car. At least that's what the rodders from my era would have said.

    i'd leave it just the way it is.. KOOL!!!

    in this particular case I would look at it as either a really awsome car,, or just another car with a chopped top.

    it's rare enough AND HAS THE RIGHT LOOK just the way it is.

    Just enough chop to fix the door frame in the rear. I've always thought those were killer cars but just never understood why they didn't finish the door tops better.
