    My car is a 31. I'm going to use a 32 frame but I'm in high school and having to save my money up as I go to buy parts I've about got enough to buy a new set of 32 rails from American Stamping. (They are about 2 hours from where I live) I've got a 292 Y-block with 3x2's a dropped axle and a Halibrand quick change waiting on the frame already. So right now i'm doing metal work patch pannels, chopping, & a few other odds and ends to it.

    Does anyone have any pics of cars chopped around 5 or 6 inch's?

    Thanks Kennedy

    Chopped mine 3 1/2, still has the original bench seat...the seat could be a bit lower. Need to get the dropped axle that's sitting in the garage under the car!

    I'm thinking 3-4 when I get mine together enough to chop....... seems when you go past that the rear 1/4 window starts to look a litle squished thats my $0.02 for what its worth oh yeah and at 6 foot 2 I guess I might need some space for the ol brain container :)

    here is mine, 4 3/4"

    I am 5' 8" and I sit on the stock seat height.

    I am very comfortable in this car but some one taller may not be.

    I think they LOOK best when that 1/4 window ends up the same height as it is wide.
    That looks more "normal" to me than stock does.

    This is John Ford Man's coupe, it's chopped 6 inches. This thing is going to be tough as nails. I might be able to get some more pics tomorrow. He's just about got it ready for the Antique Nationals.:cool:
