    That's tough, both styles look great if done correctly. Damn, I can't decide as I like both!

    More popular around here, or what you want. Don't turn into a web sheeple. I almost did.. my 32 de-channeled & going highboy, looked stupid and wrong "to ME", as I was mocking it up over a few years.

    It looked like shit, I tried bobbed rears, no rears, whatever... Then "ding", I realized why it was wrong to me...I grew up here in Ct in the 50s 60s, and I never saw even one highboy...ever. They were either channeled or full fendered. And all channeled cars here ran some sort of fenders by law.

    Got my car de-sheepled, and it looks right to me now.:cool:

    If the driver is a full-sized human being, a lowboy takes a too-small cockpit and makes it smaller. Regardless of the practical aspects, I like hiboys.

    Before I joined the HAMB I thought that I only liked and wanted a highboy, but damn if there aren't some bad@$$ lowboys. I dig them both, but like any hot rod, there is a certain look that either makes or breaks the car.
