That's a mean T coupe chop.I really like it.Can't wait to see more of this car,the mock-up looks very promising,please keep us posted on the build.Good job on both cars man !
Uh...it looks like he did in the mockup pic. 10" is alot...haha. I dig it.... I'm still debating how much to whack my '27.....
Very slick. It looks like you also took some out of the header panel above the windshield. Is that a T windshield? Gives me more motivation to start whacking mine up. I want to take 8" out of the front of the roof. 7" in the rear. Wedge section it 3". Channel 6". And make it a 3 window by taking 4" out of the rear window and lengthening the doors. Yeah I won't be able to fit in it, but I'll probably never finish it any way (thats what everyone tells me at least).
Do you have any pics of the window treatment mid chop.... I'd like to see how you tackled the transition between the narrower top pieces to the wider bottom pieces. Nice job!!!
i took an inch or so out of the header panel i dont remember , the wood is all new we just made it look old. ill get more pics this weekend we got the motor in ford 427 and got the suspenssion done now im working on the floor
Now is it an easy task to chop a 26-27 I have seen a few for sale in really nice condition at fair prices I really would like a 30 -31 A 5 window but they seem to cost a bit more and like I said I have seen Ts in really nice shape priced right they have to be chopped to look right for my taste so?
its not that hard the only thing is i took 10'' out and there is a big tapper from the bottom to the top so u have to do some pie cutting
Just got some more pics still have to do the floors we have to do electrical and fuel. The motor is a 427 build by Ford corp. as a backup motor in 1967 for Lamanse, newer been raced it has about 700hp
