Slightly Chopped 1949-51 Ford Shoebox

Make's me want a shoe box!

 

The lines on Zed's look real right to me too.

 

Mine's chopped about 3.5" inches. As others have said, I don't see the point in less than that, it's nice and subtle...

 

I doesn't look really that different from the examples above. It hink it looks really cool.

 

Maybe a bit more than what you're after but I consider it subtle and tasteful compared to most of the heavy shoebox chops you see. 4 in front 5 in the rear

 

i like it!

 

Somewhere around 3"

 

i like this even more

 

have to say, a chop sure fixes a shoebox,eh.

 

I like that chopped coupe THR1LL3R. Gives it a LOOOONG trunk.

 

Well that's because it's a coupe, the car is sectioned too.

 

Wish I had one to chop. Really enjoyed seeing all the cool shoe box Ford's, I have to go with Billy Gibbons club coupe as my fave. The rock stars are om it, Claptons shoe box is super sweet as well. I lusted over that 51 Bleed is chopping at Austin Speed Shop when at the shop during last years Revolution show, it was there for sale at a very fair price. Congrats to all the owners of rides shown! ~sololobo~

 

Here are a couple mild chops that I've done ,
Red[coupe]for Al from Wisconsin is 1-1/2"F and 2"R
white one from Houston Texas is 3" and 3"

 

That red coupe looks a lot more than 1-1/2 -2
Looks great anyhow

 

I'm getting ready to chop one, so count me as subscribed!

 

How did you do the front suspension on this? clipped, or stock?

 

Looks like this now..
