    dropped the front five inches and got ready to drop the back a like amount when I stepped back to look at it and thought, say... I may be on to somethin' here. I kind of like the rake of the body, maybe just an inch or so lower in the rear. Opinions welcome, but I'll do what ever I decide anyway,lol.

  8. Yeah, I love channelled and unchopped A Sedans... I channelled my A Sedan 7" with the intentions of chopping it as well, but I liked it so much it never got chopped.
     
  9. keep it like that! just my 2 cents id say put some cheaters on the back and whatever the hells on the back in that picture onto the front with like a 2 inch chop. thats what id do if i had model a's and cash to blow!

    I like it the way it sits now. 3WLARRY could be onto something though. The rake looks good and I dig unchopped top too.

    I like it like that. I was wondering how mine would look with a slight rake in the front. I left mine on top of the frame, now I'm not so sure. Yours looks good there.
     
  13. Remember GV- you gotta be able to fit in it:D to really enjoy it......
    Id leave it just like it sets!

    Yea the lights will come down. They looked kina cool with the car unchaneled but gonna have to be lower now.
    Thanks for all the input. And yes, it is NOT going to get chopped, even though I got a new Sawzall for Christmas.

    Maybe take 2" out of the front of the top to increase the look of the rake

    BTW- I hate channeled cars with no interior room. Why not step the front & rear?

    I say no chop looks good channeled though.
     
  26. I like it George. It looks good. Don't chop the top and you'll be that much more ahead of the game.
     
  27. Ya know, it's pretty kool that way! Especially if your not gonna chop it.

    Congrats!
