lets see pictures of the model A's you are working on ...

Love this chop!

 

As it sits now after final mock up.

 

I have been working on my coupe for 8 years. I am getting so close to driving it. I am under the gun to get it together enough to take to the Hot Rod Hill Climb in Colorado. I have about 3 weeks to get it ready.

 

Go binger go !

almost done, hopped up four banger for power. building since 2011, had the car since 1959. It is close to how I had it in 1964, but much nicer now.

 

Well its good work if you can get it.

Doesn't look like a hard sell to me. Hard Chop = Easy Sale

 

Just got er' home....Mock up begins, tear down.....oh the joy....I'de say it's gonna be a while, but chip away every day....... 30 Roadster.

 

One of many times this thing will be mocked up.

 

Phttttt I don't like the color of it.

That's looking real good kid. Can't wait to see it cruising.

 

Another coupe being rescued (?) Lotta freakin' bullet holes!!

 

Did you start a build thread?

 

Nope, this is for fun

 

I know you weren't happy with a chop, what about this time ? Getting close to decide on mine. Just wondering

That's why I bought this latest body - back to FULL HEIGHT ,BABY! East Coast without the channel. (yet).
I like the way the chop LOOKS, but on a long drive at highway speeds with all the facebook texting a-holes, I want a clear view of what's happenin'. And I like to S-T-R-E-T-C-h out.
Each to his own though.

 

Going with 32 rails?

Coupe I'm building.

 

Gettin' there- seat's getting done now.

 

Work in progress!

 

You guys are probably sick of these two, but I STILL have them and I'm ALWAYS working on them ( the list of things to do never gets shorter!)
And besides, if I finished them, I'd just have to start another one-- oh, wait a minute- I did start another one!! And I PROMISED the wife..............

 

Is that coupe chopped ? How much ?

chopped 4" by the guy I sold it to (bad job). After I bought it back, I fixed it, but it's still not comfortable on a long haul OR in town- can't see shit.

First one I did a few years ago, 3" chop, but the car wasn't built with a "rake" to it and it was much better driving wise. Sometimes it's not good to re-engineer your plan halfway through the build - then you basically don't have a plan!

Second pic is chopped 3", also channeled 4", and the fenders were cut in after. It was tight, but still not bad ( and looked pretty mean) Headlight bar is mounted at stock height to hold the fenders ( it didn't stay!)

I think IF you chop an "A", 3" is the magic number, at least for me.

"30 Tudor, 3" cut, nose up stance though
