    5’10’ with bad knees and ankles. I had Camaro seats so sat fairly low to the floor, plenty of headroom.

    Chop it 5 and stick your head out the window.
     
  4. I will side with the "no chop" group. Looks perfect as is to me.

    On my profile page is my 29 with a a 5" chop. I love a 5" chop. Make it look chopped if you're gonna do it. Although I think if you chop it, the car should be lowered also(I know it's been stated over and over) .

    Here's the one I'm building right now. Chop is 3". I chopped my old sedan 4" and it looked good, but with the visor was tough to see stop lights. So this one is 3" model A's look good any way you go - chopped or not!

    Thanks Jake....3 seems more practical, but 4 looks so good. I am starting with 3 and see how it feels.
