Hot Rods Time to chop Edna......3", 4" or 5" what would you do?

1 inch just to mess with everyone

 

If I ever run out of projects I will chop mine 4". That said, the right stance is really all you need. 4" drop axle , original front spring with reverse eyes, original rear spring with reversed eyes and a couple leafs removed. Good luck!

 

no such thing as to nice to cut

 

Don't look at my current thread, but my vote is to leave the top alone. Some speed equipment on the motor. but i like it the way you have it.

 

I'm not an old fart yet..I don't think.. and I like this stance a lot! something about the fenders and the top flows with it being lowered that much..it's different.

 

Another vote for no chop, drop it abit if you have to and enjoy it.

 

Leave it alone. Sedans look to long when chopped

 

Mild or no chop if your keeping fenders and agressive chop if your going fenderless is my personal preference. But you know the saying opinions are like A holes everybodys got one lol I'd love to have a fenderless sedan with a heavy chop

 

Now if you really really really want to mess with some heads, Take 1 out of top and add 1-2 on the bottom. Vertically Shorten the windows and vertically lengthen the flanks. It will looked chopped more than it is and make them really scratch their heads when the interior stays the same size.

Plus that's different and sure don't follow any formula

 

All this car needs is a tank of gas and a road map!! Enjoy it!!

 

3" chop

 

It's obvious you had it in your head to chop it when you started this thread, so make yourself happy. Start at 3 see how you like it and go from there.

I'm honestly not even sure who's car this is. I stole the photo off of Jordan Graham's facebook page. I'd like to know some more about it as well.

 

Amen brother! Since you asked no chop, its a beautiful car! Go make some memories with your kids & family.

 

LOL that's funny!

 

Get your sedan sitting like this and call it done! HRP

 

Perfect height

 

Hi Shane,,Nothing to do with this thread,just wanted to tell you I like your ad on National TV..I see it here in Texas

 

Chop it, and rule some shit.

 

I totally agree! You may want to add some louvers, sale of the whitewalls may help cover the cost. Bob

 

Stock model a's are for grandpa!

Chop --------- Chop

 

I vote for this. I realy like the look.

 

At least 3"or don't bother and not more than 5 1/2" or body to window ratio starts to look funny. Make it look like a hotrod. This is a hotrod forum right?

 

Chop it.... Than its a hot rod

Thanks guys

 

We chopped my buddies 4" with full fenders & a deuce rad shell, 4" dropped axle and T rear spring. It looks bitchin and he uses it to run the family in everywhere. really comfortable ride, looks sneaky and dam fast. If you want stock go to the Barn, great guys there as well. Just my two cents.

 

If you're gonna chop it, put a motor in it to match the new attitude. A mean chopped car and a wimpy motor is passive aggressive.

 

3W has a point, chop 3 to 4, I would go 4 and motor swap

 

I am in the "don't chop" camp.

Agree with Larry. Chopped with the banger don't seem right. The look you have right now is traditional.

I, by the way, have one similar to yours and thought when I first put it together that it needed a little off the top. Since then I have grown to like it at stock height and it will stay that way.

Here is an old picture. I think that I reverse the front spring and put the hood back on since the picture.
