I just can't leave this alone....the '36 is one of my all-time favorites. For me personally, if I got one in that condition......it's looked good for 76 years....man that's artwork. I'd leave it alone and just do things that can be undone. Even tho' a chop "can", who would want to? I'm in love with this car. Thanks for sharing!
I read through the first two pages....after that I get tired of reading "Don't do it" and "No". Maybe the ***le should be updated? Since it was my opion that was asked for, and I'm the world's foremost leading expert on my own opinion, my next one is to say - chopping that was a mistake.
It's you thing, do what ya wanna do. But I say NO WAY!!!!!!!!! Models A's and T's need to be chopped all day long but not this. I think Ford got this one right the first time around.
I vote no chop. A 36 3 window like yours does not really need a chop. It already has a very unique look.
NO! the only thing better was a Lincoln three window. Was every 30s car chopped in the 50s? Tradition, you've got it your driveway. And I'm a mopar guy, but I know rolling art when I see it.
Zephyrs are ugly. But I still say No chop, Im gonna actually raise the roof on it. Just like an inch or so.
This thread is so funny It proves we can write about anything, many don t read anyway. Bob, why did you remove the paint on the top ?
Are you going to chop it????? This is a fantastic thread. While we are here, should we send a man to the moon?
Yes, I believe we should try something new, first for everything... I mean no one wants to sit around and discuss something that already happend...... I say don't chop it!

Damn, only a handful of incompetent decision makers the last couple weeks!! One being the owner and one being the builder... Rough Stock, I owe you four bucks.... Looks like "A.S.S"!
