    I vote 4"

    It's amazing how much a 1" difference can make!
     
  10. I like a 4" chop on a Coupe. Depends on how much you're gonna drive it,and how tall you are. 5 or 6" is okay on a Sedan,cause you can lay back a little.

    I kind of like it with out the chop, it has East Coast Flavor and it separates it from the rest a bit. But if you are going to chop it, which is a good idea also I say 4". The window frames DO look better and it looks just plain bad but in a good way!

    I agree with j ripper. Your 4" photo shop blank stripe is the same size as your frame rail 3" The pics seem alittle off.
    Chop it 3" or 3 1/2" tack the roof on and sit in the car,look at it from a distance etc. Have fun,Smokey

    That's good chop, in my opinion, just right.
     
  22. Proportionately, I'm liking the 3". Will you cut carefully and try to preserve the current paint with minimal blending? Or ya going to a whole new look? Your car enjoys a certain subtlety I like. Try to preserve that if you can

    In my humble opinion, a 5 in chop and 3 in channel is the ideal on a Model A coupe. But given your height, something has to give. If you have figured you will fit with the 4 in chop, without question go for the 4 in.

    You should measure from the top to the bottom of the rear window, so we all know what the perfect chop is.
