To Chop Or Not To Chop!?!?!

I vote no..Its great as-is

 

Did I say NO. No. Looks Bad Ass as is. Slim

 

no chop

 

Well it is a majority of no..........so chop the living dog f%ck out of it!!!!

 

2 inches MAX.

And finished with all the stainless!

 

I agree with Ian.....my Victoria will have the stainless on it.

 

no chop

 

At most an inch or two but those trucks look great just the way they are.

 

I dont like them chopped. looks good as is

 

I was going to say "No" because I like the way they look and have never seen a chopped one I liked. But I looked at the one you posted and that thing looks very cool, just enough chop, CHOP IT .

That black and white one is bad ass

 

I can't believe it. Finally a chopping thread that I agree with. In case you can't figure it out..................NO CHOP!!!

YES.....lower the lid & add a set of Edsel wagon taillights! It look good now but will look muchooo better chop'd. cw.

 

I cant make my mind up about this one! Is it chopped or not?
Im not too much of a Bo Huff fan but this one has to be his best car to date!
I think 1" and a 1/2 or 2" top. But has to be as clean a job as a babys butt!
if you know what i mean, very traditional as in 50s early 60s style.
If you have the vision do it, if its just a head scratch sleep over it and start to think again the next morn.

 

I could go either way...but it's so easy to ruin the proportions on those, I'd say no.

I think the latest "Traditional Rod & Kustom" has a good article on chopping one...

 

if i were gonna chop it i'd do it exactly like the one brad masterson is cloning of the tiago? ranchero,,,,don't have pics handy, but i remember seeing some posted here on the HAMB a while back,,maybe someone can locate the thread...EDIT: found one courtesy of rickster (of course)

 

NO CHOP

 

No Choppie!

Bonez - I think that one has an identity crisis. It's got flames, it's has scallops, it's pinstriped, it's black, white, green, red, orange, and brown. I like Bo Huff cars but I don't know about that one? It may have a chop and the headlight treatment is kinda cool. But over all it looks a little confused, Clean... but confused.

 

I think it looks good stock, but if you do a mild chop like you said, I say yes!

 

it is chopped 1 1/8 inches.. he used a two door hard top window..
pretty sure the door frames are off of an elcamino...

Last time i saw it, it was in primer..been a while.

 

Another vote for no. They already look chopped to me. They've got great lines the way they are. Way too big of a pain in the ass for the result. Just another opinion.

 

Nope!

 

No way. Looks great as it is, other cars wish they looked like yours already!

 

no chop

 

negative.

 

Someone else already said it. No, and they already look chopped. Put the sawsall down and step away from the vehicle........

 

I think it is sweet how it is, unchopped. But build it how you want it.

 

That one looks chopped too much. I would have to go with no chop. Your car's proportions are right on.

 

I say yes..nuff said

 

no way. For what its worth, your car is literally the reason im on the hunt for a 57 Ranchero. It is FUCKING PERFECT

 

Id say play with the idea on a paint program before you decide to cut. You may not like it....but then again maybe you will. And that will make your decision for you. My2c
