    What do you guys think are best front/rear amounts to chop outta a shoebox? I'm looking for pictures from people who've done it with how much they took from the front and rear. Sweetpea's shoebox has been on the back burner because of the wedding and moving and all but I'm ancy to get cutting and make some progress.

    Anyone know the measurments on this one? I think its perfect.

    You cannot go wrong if you break out your cars proportions into thirds.

    2/3 body
    1/3 greenhouse


    Just like car designers do in their concept sketches.

    Feder's shoebox has a similar chop. And I agree it's great on proportions. There is a Thanksgiving weekend chop thread they did on it somewhere. Might have dimensions for ya.

    Choprods did mine--perfect as far as I'm concerned. He might tell you the proportions.
