here are a few pics of the 4" chop that i am doing on my 40 dodge/willys PU racetruck project, it went pretty good, I also made the cab 3" longer just past the door.
I did the chop and the rollcage at the same time to make the welding of the rollcage easier. Ron...

k3nny, that picture is well done, its like art, I like the way the cab looks kinda angry.
and now I see that My chop is like a starter kit, chopping our 54-210 and keeping the wrap around rear window is going to be the real proving ground

 

BloodyKnuckles....Perfect. That is all can say!
