I need 3/4 rear shots of model a tudors. I am getting ready to chop mine and want to see the rear window compaired to the side windows. I want to get the proportions right.
Here you go. This one is chopped 4". We took the full 4 out of the back window just as we did the sides.
here's mine the car is chopped a total of 4 inches. i took 2 1/2 or 3 inches out of the back window and the rest below the window. i did this so i could actually see out of the back window
Here ya go - I just chopped mine last weekend. That is a little less than 4.5" I have some more pictures of finishing the posts and ant the rear window I can email ya this weekend if you want. How much are you thinking about?
Mine is rotting in the backyard, hopefully I'll get started this winter, but, here are a couple of good links to some older threads too, there are quite a few cool ones here. http://www.jalopyjournal.com/forum/showthread.php?t=58164&highlight=tudor http://www.jalopyjournal.com/forum/showthread.php?t=14106&highlight=evil+sedans Love 'em man.
I took 4 out of mine all the way around. It should have been 5, but I was too chicken about being able to see out of the front windshield..... -Abone.
Still love your car Lead, looks great. What did you do for your top insert? It looks good, I was thinking of doing a removable type thing for my sedan to, I just wasn't sure if I'd need bows to keep it from flapping it the wind
The cover is waterproof canvas like tent material a local shop s***ched for me. The snaps are pop rivetted. I put a wind/weather flap over the front that works real good and I like being able to take the top right off. It'd flop around without the bows, but you might get away with it. Most of the flopping mine does, seems to be toward the back.
I like the way this looks, still get to see out the rearview! Thats a good trick, Thats goin in the ol' memory for later use!
I might change my mind if I had a ride in yours. The one above rides like a new car and my back doesn't keep me bent over after 4-5 hours riding in it. I got a few miles in it going to Bonneville last summer.
Hey FlamedAbone, Didn't you used to have the gas tank in back, like a deuce? Did you move it to the back seat... or??? -Gary
