Welcome to the HAMB. Check out the search feature. Probably quite a few threads on chops to be found.

There was a good article in the June Rod & Custom mag on Chopping a Model A coupe by Jimmy Shine. Techniques would apply to about any chop, not just an A coupe.

 

cool thank's going to start the research...

 

If you want the Jimmy Shine article and can't find it, PM me with a fax number and I will try to send you a copy. Fax copies can be a little dark but readable.

 

can you e-mail it to me....? thanks

 

oh my email is [email protected] thank you.

 

Hey, so you are going to chop it? I have an article in one of my magazines about chopping a '40 ford. I will dig it up for you. I think a '40 Ford is closer to your '37 in shape,than the Model "A". I'll give you a shout when I find it.

 

try posting your question to the main board and you will get the bible , or hit the tech archives ,, best of luck and welcome dude..

 

yea im going to do it, i want to do 5" and paint it blue....so did you see matts paint on his album? yea call me when you find that info...
