It's been a while but I chickened ou,t and went with a 3" chop. Car is getting close, runs, has brakes and is wired, needs glass and a few small...
The top turned out great and completes the look of the coupe. I was going to fill my roof then leaning to install one of those sliding ragtops....
Yes thanks Joe, I think my sub floor is a little thicker than most builds so 3-1/2" of chop should be fine.
Going to go with a 3-1/2" haircut (chop) not going to rework the floor, should have 1-1/2" to 2" of headroom, if it's too tight I can build the...
Jim, I know I saw that car at a local car show, Red Hook is only an hour away from me. Yes I remember the owner being tall. That's about all I...
Jim, That car looks familiar was it ever in New York?
Makes good sense, thinking I have to drop the floor pan to lower my seat height 2-2-1/2"
Thanks, Going to wrap the exhaust under the car and double wall the floor panels up front.
Thanks Dana makes a lot of sense, I've done the tape thing. Car isn't ready to drive yet, but I'm leaning towards less chop as I want to drive...
The floor and tunnel is fabed, still working it
Building a 31 model A coupe already channeled 4" and subfloor built now time to chop. I would like to chop it between 3"-4". At 3" I would have...
That's a good idea Mr48chev what shops are you talking about?
I am really looking for a 2 1/2" chopped insert so 4 1/2" seems too much. I guess I'm a pain in the a##! :)
Don't want to chop the grill insert and I am going to chop the shell. I know about alumicraft but that's not in the budget. I know about...
I have a Brookville grille shell that I was going to chop for my 31 coupe build, called Dales and they no longer shell their 2 1/2 chopped grille,...
Maybe I'll grab one from my neighbor and sell it to finance the build! Ha Ha!
Thanks for the input. My neighbor has a collection of one of every Indian made from 1901-1953, with the exception of the first year (I think they...

Perfection!
31 Model A hot rod. [ATTACH]
[ATTACH] Not a 32 frame and it's not stock either but, it is a Model A, sort of.
Looking good, starting to take shape!
Thanks for the effort, I think I will go 4 1/2" that's what I'm looking for. Still a few months away. Looking forward to your build, your off to...
Yeah I'm thinking it's in the 4"-5" range.
