Just a little chop...

We took just a little bit out the roof of this old chevy...minus the needed body work...whatcha think?

 

I like it...how many inches is that windshield from top to bottom?

 

another buildable Chevy squished.

 

Very cool

 

looks like a good start, is that a 70 camaro bumper for the grille?

 

Thanks guys...
The winshield is 8.5 rubber to rubber, not legal but I'd be surprised if Texas cop knew that law, and yes good eyes that is a worked 70 camaro bumper for the grill...

 

Yep.

 

hehe, you better hope there aint no texas cops on here. i like the chop.

 

What's legal in most places for windshield height?

Don't quote me on this but i was told at least in Texas it has to 10 inches from rubber to rubber...

 

Sad!!!

 

so would be a 6inch plus chop ,this ones 6in

 

it needs about a 10 inch section now. The proportions are not right. Just my .02

 

i think it looks cool chopped that much..

 

and a section would be cool

 

cool,thanks..I love radical chops..and my car will run on gas not bad opinions

 

NY is 9" minimum

 

6" is the minimum chop to get into Ol Skool Rods.

4" is the max to get into the old farts club... at least in my chapter anyways

doesn't matter how tall the gl*** is

 

I think chopping a car should enhance the lines of a car and make it flow better, this car now looks like it got smashed. More isn't better in most cases.
You wanted to know what I think, there you go. But that's just my opinion.

 

i like it, im not so sure about the mullet bullet grille though.

 

I dig the chop.

Is that you on your avatar? If it is, can I have a copy of that pic you took? Cause that chick has her foot on my car!

 

Here's a pic of the B-pillar...so I guess with a 7.5 inch chop and a 3in pancaked hood its enough for Ol Skool Rods Well I guess when it comes to a heavy chop you either love it or hate it...

 

looks over chopped in that shot. how bout a side view???

 

HA HA mullet bullet

 

I ***umed there were codes for windshield hts but this is the first time i've seen numbers. I've been told (state policeman) that in VA there had to be enough room to get an inspection sticker on it. I haven't read it, and have been trying to confirm it. I whacked mine 8". Anything under 6" isn't chopping, its' a trim-'just a little off the top, if you please'

 

Here are two sort of side views...one during the build and one at round up in Austin. It didn't get leaned forward, it got dropped straight down, not sure if this was the best idea or not but seemed easier since it is a four door...the plan was to accomplish two things not often done #1 chop a four door and #2 go beyond the normal 3 or 4 inch chop. Yes someday it'll have some chrome, but its got lots of body work and a few body mods to finish first! Still under construction, I just don't believe in hiding it in the garage until its ready to win best of show. If its driveable enjoy it

 

I like the extreme chop.

 

I dig the chop, and to all you Nye sayers who think it looks worse, or is ruined... the following is for you

 

Ditto...squarshed.

 

I dig the chop I am just not fond of the whole street machine thing. But you did a great job.
