That sounds like a bad chop to me.. It's gotta look a little goofy.. 5" in front is quite a bit, but 7 out back? Sheesh, no ones getting any in that back seat.

But I'd still like to see a pic of it..

 

Here it is, i hope the owner doesnt get pissed about me posting it....
I may be getting it, MAYBE......
OK fire away...Good bad and whatever.

 

That's a serious chop. May prove to be a challenging drive. There. My 2 cents has been deposited.

Also...I like it.

 

That's not terrible, but a little hefty for my taste.. The hood on would help decided if the chop works or not.. Speaking of which, what's up with the extended looking cowl??

 

Even though the chop is pretty radical, it can work!! If the rear is brought down to the lowest possible with air ride and raising the wheel wells, the car will have a much better flow. Finished with shiny paint this chevrolet has a lot of potential IMO!!

 

Great point. Maybe it was left off to compensate for the limited view i.e. can't see past the nose.

 

Kool i was getting nervous that it would be too much..i am gonna drive it on sunday..we will see how much i can drive it.. now what about fender skirts? would that help the look?

 

mine was a four door sedan,52 roof on a 53 sedan.chopped 4 inches in front and six in the rear.Sadly had to sell it.!

 

that was My initial thought as well.. But a Custom should look "right" when its going down the road At regular ride height as well as parked laid out.. I think putting this car almost on it's frame would reallyhelp the overall flow, goingdown theroad might it might still look a little squashed up top.. IMO.

And it will never look finished with out a hood no matter how shiny the paint is.

But I agree it has potential. Its just right on the line between "tasteful" and "shock value"... Be careful of it will fall off the fence.

 

that is a nice looking cheby you had there pic***o, i like the look with the 52 roof

 

I like it

 

Looks out of proportion with a top that's chopped too much...JMO

 

I think that chop is overdone, it just doesn't enhance the car at all.
Here's mine right after I chopped it, (I think 3 1/2" and 5") These were taken last year, I've made a lot of changes to it since, I gotta roll it outside for some pictures again.

 

Kool keep the stuff coming going to look at it in person tomorrow...
RIKSTER, 00MACK????

 

Skirts would be even better IMO. A lot of potential there. Good price?? Just dont overpay because it's " chopped " if you know what i mean?!?!?!

 

agreed!!

heres mine befor and filler

 

I never overpay.;-)...I have had chopped cars before...Thanks so much for your input it means alot.I am looking at it in person tomorrow we will see how it looks in person....
Here is a rear 3/4 shot front and side...I hate that it has no bumpers.

 

the rear of the roof is to flat I do not like it
