here is the 54 I chopped a few years ago, I cut it 3 1/2 inches in the front and 4 in the rear. Im currently chopping a 53 but more drasticly.
It seems like people that chop cars want their chop to be noticed by others. I think when it's not noticed right away is when they got it right. Said the guy without the talent to chop a car... What ever you do, good luck deciding.
