I know I am bringing up a super old thread here, but I think a very important question should have been asked and never was:

How tall is everyone that has their top chopped and how much room do you have inside the car from head-to-roof?

I’m 6’1” and have a channeled ‘32 that I have been going back and forth debating whether I want to raise the car back up, effectively “unchanneling” it, and chopping the roof, or just “unchanneling” it enough to make it comfortable for me to drive. My car seems to be channeled roughly 6” and it can be a bit uncomfortable to drive on long trips....

if you cant fit comfortably in the car whats the point in having it.ornament?

Here's a thought. What if you sold your 5 window body. I know you could get top dollar for it Then bought a fiberglass chopped 5 window. With the extra money you made, you could spend the remainder on paint, engine, etc. Last week a family friend sold a basketcase 5 window for 60 g's. Thats how rare your car is.

I'm not a restorer, I own a hiboy with a smf. a 48 ford convertible with a 383, and others. My next build will be a 27 Ford tub with a 350 chevy. I live in the Bayarea where some guys have more money than God, and they do pay top dollar for unmolested Fords.

60g's! wow! Have some of those guys hit me up please!
I will hook some one up with a 3window basket case for
a considerable discount off of that 60 figure!
