    MY 2c, there is a lot of visual m*** in the lines of the fenders and doors, quite chunky. I think that the hard top is in proportion as it is, especially being a "sloper".

    Please dont chop it! looks killer, i think that the chop wouldnt flow with the fast back lines. just leave it alone. But if you get tired of it, Im in the ATL. and i would love to take it off your hands. Im still kickin myself for not going to look at it after talking with the guy. My loss your gain.

    That is going to be very difficult to chop, as the roof line is continuous through the trunk to just above the rear bumper. I wouldn't attempt it, or have anybody else do it unless they had done half a dozen successful chops on complex body styles.

  16. Draggin37's photochop looks good.
    You really want to shop around before you let someone chop that.
    Oh, and make sure you have $$$.
    Torpedo chops aren't cheap.

    Thanks to all the comments and photochoppers. You guys that do this are gifts to the HAMB board... any chance of throwin' some wide whites on there and any thing else you wanna do to it if it was yours...

    chopping that is one of the hardest chops out there. bar none. if not done absolutely the car is pretty much ruined. The guys that can do it right want big money to do one. It's definately not the chop to start with... If you brought it to me I'd call in some side help to make sure I was going about it the right way. Only one guy in the area that I would trust to give me the right direction on it...

    My vote is to keep it as it is. A set of whitewalls it’s all it needs in my opinion.
    Very nice ride :cool:

    its the same Style as a Fleetline. take a look at how B*** chopped the fleetline he did..my Fleetline is chopped to the way B*** did it is the least amount of body work and the thought process is already done...my top retained the same line as a stock its just lowered.
