    Who gives this thread 1 star with only an honest question and 1 picture of a VERY sexy Model A?!

    The system is busted!:confused:

    EDIT: OK not a question. But an honest request and a perfect example!

  10. Here's some pics of my model A. I bought the body from eternal31 here on the HAMB, and I'm not sure exactly how much it's chopped. I guess somewhere between 7 and 8 inches.

    The sideview is an old mock-up picture where the grill shell wasn't lowered/chopped yet.

    When i was building the coupe i picked up a 3rd seat from a Dodge caravan because its narrow and reclines, you will still have to cut about 3-4 inches out of the seat to get it to fit the A interior, but you will be able to recline it and sit comfortably when you drive, im 5'11" and dont have any problems Ive been to the Roundup with it the past 6 years, ill be there this year also.

    Not sure how much the chop was, thought it was 6", but looking at DreddyBear's it might be more than I thought.

    Should also mention that 28/29's were a little taller in the side windows so 5 or 6 out of a 30/31 is like 7 or 8 out of a 28/29
