Technical tail dragger style chop

Hello everyone,

I would like some instructions on chopping the top of my 1940 Buick coupe. I am looking for the type of chop that leaves the front tall but lies the back down to "blend" with the curve of the trunk. I've seen some chops where people leave the rear windows in place and lean it forward by lifting the trunk lid or by other means. That is the type of chop I'm looking for but can't find the threads where I saw it being done. Any help would be appreciated and of course I plan doing a build thread. Thanks.

 

Throw up a few picks of the victim.
Might inspire those in the know.

 

There are a few guys that have done 41 Buick Super chops. Check here on the hamb for photos.

 

This is it a 1940 Buick Special 46s

 

Mikkonen is doing a 40 Cad in Finland

 

Here are a few picts of a 41 chevy done on the west coast. I forget the guys name but it looks great. I'd like to do this to mine but who's got $10K to spend on a chop?! And I don't have the skills for that.

 

Any more advice out there? @rickster?

Yes. We need updates.

 

Sounded like he was looking for a rockasilly chop, maybe why he hasn't been back.

 

Pretty sure Paul Garland chopped thar 41; its a really nice chop and Paul work is primo

 

My 40 Buick has been put on hold. I’ve been working on a 64 c10
