    Thanks Moose, that is awesome, but, is it possible to lower it a bit, and add the tank on the back.
    Thanks, Pat

  3. OK....I couldn't help but put bigger gummers on the back and a slight rake. Also did one just in case your toying with the idea of chopping the top....Don't hit me!

    Wheelbase is too short to look right. Front end needs to go forward at least a few inches
     
  5. OK Paul ...Lets take a look. If I keep this up pretty soon Pat won't even recognize his own car:D

    Moose, you are a genius, all you other guys, definitely a bunch of of comedians. But I did like the chop, thanks for the suggestions, now just lay the windshield back a few degrees,
    Oh, the longer WB looks OK too
     

  11. Very slight mod to the windshield post......

    Anyone who can lower my top about 2,5-3 inch? And maybe clean up the back ground in the photo. 13149944_1028210400566571_946104516_n.jpg

    Wish the top was radically chopped more, and more tilt to W.S.
    (plenty of head room in un-channeled car) starting to like cabriolets !!!

    There's a debate going on elsewhere on the HAMB about whether it is advisable to chop a 1940 Ford 4-door sedan. The cons argue that the lines are destroyed by pinched window posts and a too short windshield.

    I decided to give it the late-forties custom treatment and see what worked. Started by lowering the car with a slight tail-dragger look. Then I lowered the top by sectioning the car from the A-pillar back under the windows and above the chrome trim strip.

    The next pass took an inch or so from the side pillars. Of course, the whole rear slope would have to be reworked, but that was a given in a chopped sedan.

    In order: Stock, Sectioned, and then Chopped.

    I like your take on the 4 door rot 'n kustom. Id like to see your last version with the 3rd pillar canted forward so the rear door windows weren't so square. I think that would add to the sleek look you've got going.
