Should I take a litte more off the top?

I am taking my 29 Chev international 4dr, and transforming it into a Sedan Delivery.

Last night I chopped it 3 inches but I m still not sold on it.
I wouldn't mind some input on the amount of chop, I am thinking maybe another inch and a half off would look good. I am planning on channeling it also ( 5 inches)

Thanks in advance.

ps Sorry for the bad pic.

 

I think you should channel it the amount you want before you chop it any more. I think it looks fine. You also need to think about head room. A 3" chop and a 5" channel will effect that a great deal.

 

I like it the way you have it! but thats just my opinion, I tend to like top chops that are subtle. I think we see too many radically chopped sedans these days.

 

I guess it depends on what you're going for. It looks good now and even when it's channeled it'll still be a very drivable car. 1" or 1 1/2" wouldn't hurt the look but I think menacekustoms is right, see how the channel looks first. It's a lot easier to take more out than put it back.

 

Looks good, nice proportions.

 

I took 5 inches out of the top of my '25 Chev and it doesn't look too radical.I'll post before and after pics later today.

 

...this looks to be about 1.5 to 2" roughly...

 

I agree, one can "easily" find themselves in the "one step forward, two steps back" mode in a "heartbeat"!!......but what the hell, one will never know, if one never try's!!...........
Later, Doug

 

Thanks guys, I appreciate the help. This is my first Hot rod build and I'm havin a blast !!

 

Are you a midget? mock it up with the floor where it will be and sit in it. Looks good so far.

 

looks good to me

 

great photoshop job electrodude! just did the same to check the chop plans for the nailhead...

 

i agree about getting the channel completed before you chop it any more. unless you're short.

 

You've got it just right. Good job!

 

Very nice job...What ever you do just keep a record of the build. Mostly the back door, that's what I want to see...ghost
