Lets see the HEAVY chops!

Now that the front off the house has had
it's make over, it's time to start on the side yard. I unburied
the 41 truck project and got to think'in how cool it was gonna be to receive a warning citation through the little "mailslot" of a door window opening.
Lets see your best "Over Chops"

 

Oops, guess i'll show mine first!

 

Yeah what's the limit for Front Gl*** height???
Has any body run into trouble?
I need to find out before I chop my 37 PU. The cops are fussy 'roun here so I need to leave enough gl***.

 

7in is more than enough... Haha metalshapes. Thats some funny stuff.

Heres a pic I found on the net.

Damn! i was so busy looking at the chop that i didnt even notice the damn thing was equipt with an ALISSON 12!!! NIIIICE!

 

This is the most I have whacked, yet. its 9 inches i think

 

Big Al...I can't even imagine the sound of that thing. Those must have been the days

 

What about Pär's wild Model A from Sweden?

And yes he does fold 3 times to fit in the car!

 

i've always been told the windshield has to be at least 6" high. a quick way the cops will measure it is with a dollar bill. they are 6" long.

this is the neighbor kids 40 Ford truck i've been helping him buil.. if memory serves me we chopped it 6 1/2". not an easy task on such a round cab. we leaned the windshield posts back. that is what made it much more complicated.

 

That looks more like a heavy frame than a heavy chop holy **** thats some big I-BEAM !

 

Not on a fenderless rod, but heavy nonetheless
what I started with

what I ended with...almost 7" out...farther along than this pic shows, but this is the best illustration of the lowered lid...note steering wheel

I think it was a Packard Merlin in that thing, not an Allison, but I could be wrong...

neat stuff though

 

Dude, that has one *****in coin slot for a back window.
I took 5" out of my A tudor and thought it was chopped!!

 

whacking 9 inches. Thats funny!

 

Hey your right,... You are wrong,...( couldn't resist that ) this car was named "Big AL" because of the Allison, it has retired to Fla where it sits in air conditioned comfort at the Garlits Museum. ( I can't remember the owners name but Jim Lyttle keeps coming to mind,.... but I could be wrong )

I love the Sceene.I can still see the Cord for the Saws all and The Piller/Post Bits on the ground.It looks great!!

 

What actually tiped me off was of course the obvious 12 pipes hanging out, but also the "P-51" on the door.
Jim thats a nice respectable chop.
The others look great also, especially "Par's"
"60longroof" you got any finished shots of that. Looks like it turned out nice.
Great story "porkn******", ill file that for future use.

 

they give ya warnings over there?
