    An unchopped 32 3W is very rare these days. Why make it look like a plastic body? I would keep it virgin.

    or chop it like my sedan... :)

    I agree with Kevin. IMHO, 32 3/w's just look bad *** hammered 3.5-4.5". I've said it before; They also look best in dark paint (black, dark;blue,green,maroon) if they're hammered. I love any 32 but stock height 3/w hot rods look to blocky to me.

    the range of opinions on this thread alone should tell you that you need to do exactly what you like, and not worry too much about what other people think.

    i like 'em all, but when it comes down to it, with my '34 (i know, not a deuce), it will be unchopped.

    my model a coupe on the other hand...

    Almost all 3 windows cars are chopped. Like someone said its kind of refreshing to see a stock height 3w.

    Just wondering if anyone here knows, I'm 6'2" so I'm kinda worried about having anyroom even if I do a mild chop. Any ideas?

    I am six foot two inches tall also ...
    The package is removed in my 32 3W ... so I can slide the original seat back and get more leg room. With the seat back and less padding on the bottom on the seat ... I believe everything would work out for head room ... with only a 2 inch chop.

    I do find that seeing out of my non chopped 32 3W ... is more difficult than other non 3W 32's I have driven. My main experience is an a 32 roadster ... where you can see most everything ... but I have had sedans and driven 5W's :)

  14. I think stock height or 1 1/2" tp 2" at the most. Subtle
     
  15. I LOVE this unchopped, channeled 3W and that's saying a lot - I normally really don't like channeled cars at all. Probably the combination of the stock top, severe engine setback, narrow piecrusts, killer weedburners . . . I wonder how it'd look back up on top of the rails . . .

    PS - I borrowed this from a thread about engine setbacks;)
