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

That was a hard question. I looked back and forth at the two pictures several times before I could decide. In the in end, I have to say "no". Looks better without the chop.

 

Sam how much did you chop the back window? I took 7 out of my top and can't decide if I want 4 or 5 out of the window.

Hi there, I would keep it tall an use a trunk lid off a 69 Chevy full size to fill the roof with, if you seen one you will know what I mean!

heres mine with 10" gone.

 

When I was throwing mine together, I was so certain it would be chopped about 8" or so. BUt I ran out of time and didn't chop it to get it on the road. Told myself that I would do it some other time.

Well...now I am starting to like it tall. If I was you I would do the same. A lot easier to chop later if you still want to. Sounds like a weenie way out, but it is a pain to have to try and put it back after you whack it.


So for now my vote is TALL....but next summer I might say chopped. LOL

honestly...i dont remeber,,,all i rember is that i trimmed the upper and lower area so it wouldnt be a mail slot...

i chopped 10" out of the rear and 10 1/2" in the front...i think it was around 6" out of the back window...

 

Well,
i decided on unchopped. Im puttin it together to sell and fund my 32 5w. i hope someone else likes it tall as well.
here it is.

 

Looks good. What color/brand paint did you use on the rims?

 

I dunno. How about this?

 

If it's "Liberty call", I saw it in person at Jalopy Showdown. That is one cool little car.

 

keep it tall .......... here is a tall t uncut and with fenders that looks real good, not to many of there uncut one left... so i say keep it tall

 

i don't think you can go wrong either way, I left mine tall because it has the original glass.. and I like them tall so it worked out...

 

great post. I like to see em left tall with a deep channel

 

I did this one 5.5 inches. i also shrtened the car 5.5 inches and narrowed it 2.5 inches. i really liked this car.

 

I say chopped looks best and to me they dont come any Kooler than the "Bad news" T from burbank choppers......

 

This was chopped way before I got it but I believe it's 4 ". It looks chopped but still has that "Tall" look.

 

That's a good looking car. You got to love a 26-7 coupe.

 

No chop on my 100% original steel coupe.

I'm 6'2" and 240# TALLER the better

 

I have a suspicion your T is channelled 4 inches.
The chop if any looks pretty mild!
Nice hot rod all the same.
