The Turdy 4 ' gettin" a haircut. HOW MUCH!

O.K. guys , How much should I cut this thing.

 

Cart before the horse in my honest opinion. I wouldn't even consider cutting on a car til it's at the very least a roller and preferably a runner. It's all about proportions and you've got nothing to base decisions on right now.

 

Cart before the horse in my honest opinion. x2

 

IMO I think 33/4 5 windows look best unchopped.

 

three inches

 

Get it running first pleze

 

I wouldn't chop it either.

 

It absolutely should be on a welded chassis at ride height before any chopping. Fit the doors, too. And the decklid. Are you running a hood? Put it on.

It does not have to run first. It doesn't have to run untill you are ready to drive it.

4 1/2" in the front 4 1/8" in the back. Have fun!

 

Two in the front. One in the rear, leaving the rear window stock. Remove some of the high crown in the roof just over the hinge post.

 

don't chop it, it looks good as is.

 

1 1/2".

A bit of subtlety will have people wondering just what was done.

Or . . . you can chop it all to heck and gone and look like all the rest....

 

I like em uncut but cut also!

if your gonna cut it dont go too much or it will look squashed, id go 2-1/2 to 3" chop, just a good looking over all chop.

I dont usually base my chops off of how the car sits, chop it how much you want and get it sitting where you want.

No haircut here. 95% of 34`s out there are chopped I think these look cool just as it.

 

I like your thoughts. I may go just a shade less with a little down ward slope.

 

no chop...if you do cut it do something real subtle...1 1/2...I really like the stock roof on a 33-34 ford

 

That car in your avatar is cut.....And that is Reet On!

 

x2..

 

i like em chopped, but i agree with these guys have it on a chassis first and make all the door gaps perfect before you cut it .........................john

 

Oh i know its cut but it isn't a 5 window..The 5 window has the sweetest lines when they are not cut...3 window is a different story for me though...

 

X3

Leave it how it is

 

How tall are you???

 

Wait to cut it until you have a roller and the stance dialed in!!!!

And when you are ready to cut it refer to the Silva Special II that Bob Bleed Chopped a couple months ago. There is no finer example of a 5 window chop then that.

 

now that is nice...

 

Don't chop it, it will look shit. Here's mine 3.5".

 

I know NOTHING about hot rods and what is or isn't a good chop, but that looks so good to me!

 

5 windows have to be chopped!

 

Ok, whatever Ian. I have seen your work. If you think it looks good, then it is good.

 

i like em all. heres a few examples.

 

Take the crown out and just nip it, like 3/4" in the back, 1 1/8" up front

Seriously, they look good cut and stock height - it's hard to do something different (if that's what you're after) but the tried and true 3" works pretty good.
