Been working this week on channelling the A. I beleive when done it will have about a 5 inch channel. Nothing is welded solid yet. I tacked everthing up and dropped the body down today to check the fit.I will be running about a 1 inch bigger tire in the rear and the car will probably get a mild chop.
Looks great man! I may need to enlist your help on channeling my body over the frame. Jeez I have a lot to do before I can get where you are with your coupe!! Good seeing you on Saturday! Good looking wheels you got there!
The wheels went on as soon as I got home. I'll be on the look for 4 finger gloves for you for next winter. That was all Mark X's fault.
From my perspective, the car would look better with just the channel. I like the top highth in relation to your channel job just fine as it is. I agree, it has that sinister look as it sets. Looks like an "Old School" car. Jim
More channel, no chop, then you can look like my truck. Looking good. I don't think you are going to make the Roundup in it though. TZ
Don't listen to these guys...if you don't chop it 3-4" I'm going to come over and cut it for you. Well, at least cut it to where you can't turn back...I shave door handles the same way...ask Mark X. (Note: I'm going to come do the other side before you paint it, Mark...I promise)
badass keep 'em going.chop it.use being a little guy to your advantage.bass can shave them handles...he a young gun dont ya know?
utt ohh Madam Wanda sees a wagon going up for sell in your future, yes, a 67....with..?...scallops. Because you need more space....no, MONEY for other projects. there goes your screen name.....
Dude, That's looking good. Let me know when and if you're gonna chop it. I'll drop by and lend a hand. Do you reckon you'll be on the road for the drags?

Looks cool,did you use the stock sub rails and just raise em up or did you remove them completely??Pics??
I think we'll(THEM) be coming to your place one of these Tues. nites Phil or maybe a Sat and help you thrash on that sweet coupe!
Levi, only pic. I have of the front rails is already posted. Nothing on the inside done yet to see. 34Fordtk,The original siderails are there. I welded some angled steel to them that sits on the frame. I have those tacked together with some 1X1 sqare tube on top of them. In these pictures there is a piece of 1X1 under the angle iron as a spacer because I planned on running the square tubing there and not on top as it is tacked right now. If I go with the 1X1 on top the car will be channelled down another inch. I may go this way if I dont chop it. I've set in it and I'm already worried about head room, and that was sitting on a flat piece of wood. If it gets chopped it will be subtle. 2 maybe 3 inches at the most.I don't like them too hammered down unless they are sitting really low. At the height mine will ride it's gonna look better with a small chop or no chop.Decisions decisions. What fun. One more pic of the doorway. This is all that is done at this time on the inside.
