1931 ford coupe chop?????????

who made your seat

 

thanks for the info guys and pics

 

anymore pics

 

If you are chanelling car, most recommend 8" total height reduction. As 4" chanell and 4" chop combine together as 8" total. I personally like 6" chop

 

here is 5" out of my 31

 

I know it's already been said, but MAN, your A looks good

 

does look good with those white walls

 

perfect!!nice look

 

With the seat in place allow enough room above you for your fist, a way cool chop is a f-n nightmare with a scrunched neck and a headache every time ya get out. it aint cool if ya have trouble driving it

 

thats what i had in mind just seeing whats the best seat to get...

 

any info on this car looks nice

 

any info on this car

 

My seat is stock. I removed the factory riser, mounted it straight to the floor and made my own small (1.5" if I remember right) riser for the front to give it the proper pedal position when sitting. I'm 6' and it works well for me. I have a few inches between my head the the roof.

 

4 inches, I'm 6'2 and fit just fine

 

48chrysler, that is a beautiful car!

 

nice do you have any pics of you riser i have the original seat my self i dont find the point of buying a new one

 

that is a nice car... i have a question for you guys...... im noticing the sun visor on my car wiggles or does a flapping sound is that normal on these coupes ...this is my first coupe i always had roadsters

 

When we were building mine, one of the common complaints from the older guys was that they move a bit, I welded mine in and grafted new metal in tight spaces trying to cut down on all the wiggle

 

I don't have anything handy at the moment. Honestly it's just a chunk of wood cut to fit, screwed to the floor, and two dowels that go into the holes on the bottom of the seat. Experiment with a few different heights, it's different for everyone.

 

5 inches on mine too. I need to hack up my seat. My wife was kind enough to tie my seat springs for me (since her hands actually fit between the coils!) but it didn't lower the seat enough. I need to fab a new riser lower than the factory one. Still a work in progress.

Shooter, did you remove your package tray too?

 

arent you a lucky guy lol looks good who did the chop you did

 

thanks for the handy info...

 

Astro, no I left the package tray in there. Works well for me.

 

Haha, thanks. It's great that my wife is tolerant of my addiction. Yep, I did the chop with the help of a buddy. It's still pretty rough, as I have to finish the windows and door tops. Here's a thread on it if you'd like to see some detail photos. Also, check out shooter54's chop thread. Lots of good info there too.

Right on, I'll have to try that. Right now I have the tray out and the seat cranked back as far as it will go and it's not enough. My head still sticks out like harry and the hendersons!!

this one is 4" ,i am 6'1,still have package tray and is comfortable. i personally like 5" best.

 

tree inches. I bought a roll of 2 inch tape and a roll of 1 inch tape, put it on the body and started cutting. I'm 6'4" and plenty comfy for me!

 

that looks good thanks for the pics

 

looks good did you keep the original seat

 

I removed the package tray, kept the original seat, but for the cushion your butt sits on, I used the rumble seat cushion instead of the inside cushion because the springs aren't as high. The seat currently has a blanket over it, despite it being newly covered as a stock restored seat.
