    With that chop, you could just flip the sun visors down for a sun screen when you park it. Outstanding!

    Nice looking Hot Rod!
    With such a hard hammer, are you in there comfortable?

    Has about a 7" chop. Can see fine. The key is the area that your eyes en up in. Ha to do with seat placement. No vision issues in my coupe at all.

    The problem for me does not come from being able to see out of the car, for me the problem is in looking at the car from the street viewpoint.
    I don't like it. To me the chop is too extreme and the proportions of the car are just "off "
    Makes it look squashed.
    This is what a 32 5 window should look like.

    We all have different ways of building. That makes it a "hot rod". To be honest the harder the cut the more I like it. Seems like I'm not the only one who likes it that way. :)

  26. I think it's a combination of things. That amount of chop is fine, but the rest of the car needs to be hammered as well. As it currently sits, the proportions aren't quite there; needs to be lower with a more aggressive rake to fit the aggressiveness of the chop. Kinda looks like it has a big ol' schnoz on it to my eyes - at least from the side and 3/4 front views.

    You need to look at more 50's period built Bonneville style cars. That were run on the street and on the salt on the weekends.
