    alright, this project is a 40 ford pickup, i marked all my lines to chop it (4inch), and now that i have the roof off im wondering if i should glue it back on or just leave it *******. i think i need some input and opinion on this one, ive already built a chopped chevy pick up (the green and black thing) and ive never had a roadster, but im not sure if i want my first one to be a pick up roadster. decisions, decisions. help me out here

    thanx

    p.s. i know that the chevy isnt traditional, i just wanted to do something totally off the wall.

    Put it back on in my opinion. I am wanting to chop my 41 cab. I am curious to find out how much to chop mine.

    Absolutely!!

    40's have a great look to them, ESPECIALLY with the right chop..
    One of the best looking Ford truck's in my oppinion..
    Keep the roof..be different elsewhere in the build.

    Put it back on. Hammered 40 PU's are tough. Hacked just don't look right.
     
  6. Put it Back ! 'Nuff said.

    I agree with everyone else here in some aspects but i saw a 40 Ford pick-up from Paso that had the roof removed and it looked awesome...Maybe someone has a pic of the truck i'm talking about....It was a flat white with the box shortend and rear fenders bobbed/molded...I always say build something different that stands out from the others!

    Put the lid back on, that looks like a nice chop your gonna have. Don't build some pos like in the last picture.
     
  16. Agreed with Automotive Stud. There's off-the-wall, and then there's just plain circus freak. Most 40 cab rpus look pretty bad.
