Cars that should Not be chopped

I think 55-57 Chevrolet Bel-Air Hardtops should not be chopped. post cars are OK.

wouldn't chop one of those Ford retractables.

"40" Willys don't take a chop well.

never seen a chopped "center door" T sedan.

 

49-51 & 32 Ford's should not be chopped.... Man that's crazy talk. This is the fucking HAMB here, chop em up !!

 

Some look good with and most look better without chopped tops. My '31 has never been chopped and I plan to keep it that way.

 

You shouldnt chop a car that already has the perfect chop.

Pretty much everything else is fair game...

 

I think the biggest problem is the rear glass looks more aerodynamic than in the front.

 

33, 34 Mopars look chopped from the factory and 53 Studes are perfect the way they are.

 

Then you would not have anything to post about on this forum. Well, then that would be sort of a blessing.

 

Henry J's shouldn't be chopped.I have seen a few done all look real bad. Everything else is fair game.

 

i honestly think it is the chopper more than the chop.......some idiots can screw up anything..... i just got back from the redneck rumble in ten.... i saw so much fuked up shyt and hacked up cars i left early!!!!!! (everything was waaay over chopped and everything on an s10 chass. 30-40-50s even saw a vw on an s10...wtf...WHY....its all about proportions and being somewhat of an artist ...and there are so few left...my 2 cents ;-)

 

49-51 & 32 Ford's should not be chopped.... Man that's crazy talk. This is the fucking HAMB here, chop em up !![/QUOTE]


ill 2nd that.....btw i think the 49 fleetlines are one of the most beautiful car ever chopped...if dun right

 

Thank you, somebody gets it. Did I navigate to the wrong page or is this a custom car and rod site?

I also debunk the "I've never seen one that looked good" argument. Just because you never saw one doesn't mean it can't be done. I've seen some real bad Merc chops, doesn't mean a Merc can't be chopped well.

 

Everyone has their own taste. I like some cars chopped, especially in the 60's. Some look good lowered all the way around. Some look good with W/W Tires. My main thing is they are in good mechanically shape, so to each their own.

 

Post 1960 can be pulled off. This 64 Pontiac built by Richard Zocchi is a fine example in my book.

 

Unless they're sectioned,right?

 

Any rusty pile of shit car.......fix the rust first, then chop it.

 

49-51 fords look good chopped but i prefer the coupes unchopped. But that's just me.

 

Anything 1964 or later. All else is fair game.

 

I miss the old HAMB!

 

If I had been around long enough I assume I would be in your camp too

Ain't that fer tru!

 

Bravo, well said. Finally someone who uses common sense.

 

Dumb.

If you've got the skills, you can chop pretty much anything not OT to this group. I'm sure without too much effort, a few pretty nice examples of every car on that list can be found chopped. '32's shouldn't be chopped? Are you on bath salts? Post war trucks even? Come on, yes you said it, that is stupid.

 

It's good that you and your old time buddies agree. I have different tastes. We can just agree to disagree.

Sure some stuff is taken to stupid extremes, but I very much agree with Rusty:

Bold empasis mine, Caps not.

What a bunch of self-righteous, self-inflating, stereotypical crap.
You're narrow-mindedness bores me. I can find that anywhere.
Yawn back.

 

I don't know what Buster was thinking when he chopped his car.Am I in the right place ??

 

57 fords one in nz not my thing

 

You're right...it was a whole paragraph all at once. Oddly enough, the next two posters got it with no problem....

 

If you delete a post that somebody has replied to, that reply no longer makes sense.

( so I deleted my reply as well.)


Anyway...

It seems we are no longer talking about chopping cars.

And this is just turning into another Drama Thread.
