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 Glass 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 glass.

 

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 shit 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 bitchin 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 "porknbeaner", ill file that for future use.

 

they give ya warnings over there?
