    Your car but you did ask..
    No chop....
    Way too much work if you are not a pro...and I am not..
    I bought a '49 Chevy Fleetline that had the top chopped and the pillars slanted forward.
    I had to chop the doors, trunk, all inside trim, do the glass, headliner, and all inside finishing...a real time consuming pain in the ass.....
    When done, it looked real good, and I really liked it a lot, but also being 6'5" it was a pain to crouch down all the time to drive too!!
    Good luck, and keep us posted!
    Cheers........
    That is a cool Chevy, IMHO there is a lot more you could do to make that cool!!

    i say no chop...you'd ruin the cool original(?) paint, with a nice patina and take time and money away from your other projects to play with a car that doesnt need time or money to be cool.

    trust me, I'm an expert on everything (in my own opinion, of course)

    Go mild custom until you "know" what you want to do.

    i agree with bobjob..its fun for me to picture it done up and then its really to start cutting ..i love to do all the work to the cars from start to finish but i know fun it is to finish 1 then have another on the back burner waiting to start the fun all over again
