Chopped 32 3 windows!!!!!

At the shop we just channeled the body 3 1/2" now its time to chop the top i feel a 4" chop would be proper but i should probably show my buddy some pics before i cut up this pristine body. Show me whatcha got

 

thank god some ones building a hot rod out of a 32 ford on here !
I will look thru my 32 pictures and post what I`ve got

here`s a good 32 site http://www.deuceslimited.com

 

Poor car, maybe your friend should take it somewhere else so that a professional that has done the work before can reassure him that it will be right! Being a "builder" maybe you should already have an eye for what looks good, instead of asking the masses. I've never done it myself but I'm just throwing it out there from my arm chair!

 

There is a very fine line over which 32 3Ws look squashed and 4" is over that line.

 

I don't know man, these are both chopped more than four inches and look pretty good to me...

 

You've gotta be kidding me. What a f$&#@ troll.

 

Gepetto
hows that abomination you call a hot rod coming out. Im pretty set on 4 my customer needs to weigh his options.

 

I cut mine 3.5" in the front, and 3" in the back.

 

i think this is a 4,5" or 5"chop, dont know..`but it`s a 3 window 32...

 

Mines cut 2.5 all around, but in my opinion it makes a difference with fenders or not. I'm running fenders but if I was going highboy I would have cut it 3.5 in front and 3 in back, and leaned the A pillars.

 

I agree with Krylon. Mine is cut 2 1/4" with the roof extended so the A pillar isn't laid back. My car is full fendered and the proportions look right. But for a hiboy 3 1/2" front and 3" back with the posts laid back has the best look plus you can still see out the front and sides. The FOGGER

 

Most folks think that this is the BEST LOOKING 32 3W ... ever chopped.
The Doyle Gammell 32 3W.

I think it is chopped a little too much, but then I like them not chopped.

 

Thanks for the pics , i like them all i will show them to my buddy i would have to agree with a 3 1/2 chop if we were still running fenders he has had this car for 28 years with the body the way ford created it. The car has been a hot rod since the early fifties this car is a part of him it will never be sold just passed down generations so i feel the need to give him options, if it were my car it would be missing 4" from the roof right now.
Thanks again ~ bryan

 

dude...just fuckin ...WOW!!!!!!!

 

What you want to talk about hot rods? How dare you.Didn't you know (insert esoteric musian) died last week.??

Please share some pictures with us..
Mr.B's 32 looks good chopped and channeled.

and for contrast..Stevey's oe design

 

Dude my car is coming out great! Maybe you can paint it for me when it's done. Hows the merc coming? Haven't touched it, rusting away? Keep posting I would love to see how this car turns out.

 

What's wrong with missing 6!!

 

Search the forum for Mykes 32. Perfectly awesome.

 

they definitely need a 1/2 inch more out of the front or they look like there going up hill I woud go 4 inches and 4 1/2 in the front

this one needed that 1/2 more the top looks bigger in the front





I like this one it looks mean ! and just right

 

Heres a 5" chop



This ones 3 1/2"

 

Here's one I had about 10 years ago. Chopped 4" in front and 4 1/2" in back.

 

If you chop to much, it will look like it is a Glassfibre body.
And that is not all good. Or??

 

This one isn't mine,.... but the nicest chop on a 3/W IMHO

(No kidding,..... 3 5/8",... yeah I know, but it's true)


This is it several years ago,....

 

My buddy's car is 4" in the rear and 4 1/2" in the front posts.

 

I thought this was a 4" but after looking at the other pics on here it may be less



the one on the left

 

4 1/2 chop on my coupe

 

Bob, any side views of you coupe?

 

It's PERFECT...if your going wack it..WACK IT!!! Great Chop!!!

 

IMO- the best looking chop of all time has to be the Doyle Gammell car.
3" chop in front, 3 1/2 in rear.
I knew the car when my friend Tom Schiffilea had it.
Not this one. This is the car Doyle built later.
