    I ran into the same dilema with my 32 deuce and in the end did a business card chop. I did a lot of homework and along with the help of 2 of the best metal men I know the deed was done. the key was my experienced guys I had working with me but it also took alot of bodywork hours & $$$ to finish the job...oh guess I'm not done yet, still have to do all of the window frames, etc. It's a big job.

    Most of the time, I'd vote for the chop, but not this one. Keep it the way she is. Sweet!

    My '31 Model A that my dad had running the roads in the '60s has never been molested and I don't plan to change that. So my vote is NO!

    no,to much work for little if any looks and it will reduce th evalue of the car and make it more difficult to sel if you have to

    Don't even consider chopping the top on that car. You are nuts. It is perfect as it sits. Nice Ride!
