Picked up a 1950 shoebox 4door for four hundred bucks only for flathead. Did some investigation into car and really liked the looks of a poor mans leadsled. Decided to keep and chop. Searched for every available web site that showed a chop step by step. Spent countless hours laying out the cut lines and chopped her off. Most of the sites show a wedge cut below a pillar to pull the pillars together. I cut the wedge and put a ratchet strap on and that pulled it in some but it also pulled the windshield edge down. where did I go wrong? How do you get the leading edge of the front windows pushed in since I have drawn the A pillar in? Any help would be well appreciated. Chopped 4" (3.25}A Pillar, 4"1/4 Back

Have look at a whole bunch of build threads and shoebox chops here (you may have to join the shoebox group to see the threads, not sure)... http://www.jalopyjournal.com/forum/threads/post-shoebox-build-threads-here.908390/
