    Chopped shoebox coupes -
    I've seen some done with straight B pillars, some raked pillars and some pillars removed.
    I've been eyeing a 49 business coupe as of late and been trying to find a build thread on sled chopping one to help me make my mind up on buying it or not.
    I've found nothing really dedicated to the topic.
    I've seen some that I really like, others that dont really stand out.

    So, anyone out there with first hand experience? Was it that much different than doing a 2 door sedan?

    Looking forward to your opinions and more so, actual experiences.

    Hi Lono.....Jerry (homemadehardtop) did one recently. I saw it a couple of weeks ago & it turned out very nice. He had a great thread on it with a lot of pictures, but I couldn't find it when I did a search. Shoot him a P.M. & I'm sure he could direct you to it.

    Ian Berky's is good. So is Chris Casny's. Both look great. There's quite a few on here.

    There are a lot of great SEDAN chop threads and I've been over all that I can find, thanks for mentioning many of them.

    I'm looking for someone who has done a sled chop to a Business Coupe.
    The smaller roof poses its own unique challenges.

    For what it's worth , Jerry's car is a 2-door sedan , not a coupe ... different animal .
