    I like it. A 6" chop looks like way to much in my opinion. Looks cool with no chop.

    seeing that its a "dodge"
    I like the HEMI mock up, the chevy not so much.
    try some other mopar motors :cool::D

    and I think a 6" chop might be a little to much:eek: Ron....

    i like alot of chop but i agree, 6" seems like to much. i wouldn't go more than 21/2-3". stick with the hemi!
     
  6. ...slant 6 with trips and zoomies!!! ..maybe trade the hairpins out for some older iron...just my taste...everything else looks great!! Don't chop it...

    raise the cab about 6-8 inches would look alot better, and a 3-4 inch chop

    Hemi

    No chop

    Just my opinion but if you chop it it will look like all the other low trucks.

    Yeah, no chop. WTF? Raise the body 6 inches so the cab is in relation to the bed more like it would be stock, then CHOP THE **** OUT OF IT. 6" all the way. Just make sure you mount the seat, sit in it, and have a buddy measure from your head to the roof (and sit up strait like your mom is in the p***enger seat when you measure). HAMMER THAT LID.

    - Just my humble opinion. And yes, I have those. :D

    Leave it full brim. Go against the grain and leave it stock height. It seams in an attept to be different everyone ends up looking the same. Great project.

    I also think, A- leave it the way it is
    B- slight un-channel then chop
    C- Dodge power would be real cool

    It does seem to be channeled a ton. Can you sit in it now without a chop? I think a mild chop would look cool. I like the Hemi, but if I had a ready to run smallblock chev...The thing that I dislike is how high the grille is in realation to the cowl per the last pic.
     
  20. I'm going to cut down my grill and looking for a visor

    hmmm ok you sent me this so ill comment................
    wow i think the back corners of the cab and back wall turned out really good for the $ involved....lol
    he was talkin 8 inches til i showed him what it would look like....lol
    ok heres my opinion the channel is sweet(cause i think its my fault its where its at now)
    and i think chop will depend on how you got the floor finished and seat mounted(youll sit,ill measure-about a dozen times)
    and then right before the cutting begins ill make sure"THE DOORS OPEN LIKE ****ER BEFORE YA CUT THE DAMN THING!!!!!!"
    the hemi looks better in your office because its....pretty and very unclose to running til ya hit the lottery and the small block is....running,it was cheap,it runs, its in the car now,it runs,its more efficent..........oh and its a running engine....
    a slant 6 would be cool as hell though!
    btw i dont know this person............

    Another vote for no chop. See how you like it, you can always chop it later.

    I like it! I have to agree that 6" is WAY too much. Mopar engine sounds much better.

    But it should be unique looking.
