" ME FIRST CHOPTOP! AND I DIDNT STUFF IT UP! lol Its a 31 ford with another of my silly engine swaps! Instead of sporting the Ford 4 banger, it now has a toyota 4 banger with a "MASSIVE" turbo strapped to da side. The stupid thing was when i choose to chop the roof i really didnt have the best tool for the job. A blunt aluminium hacksaw blade! lol And the only light in the room was a crappy, dull bulb on da other side of the room. Plus i was hammered for nearly 3 hours before hand so....... lol. It needs a whole lot more work, but it will get there..
Thanx for checkin it out! Chopped 31 Ford "turboed" Icon_biggrin Chopped 31 Ford "turboed" IMG_0483Chopped 31 Ford "turboed" IMG_0482Chopped 31 Ford "turboed" IMG_0481

I like the raked chop. Although I might have rounded the corners of the front windows and lined them up with the back ones. Maybe using the tops of the door frames?
I've been toying with doing something similar with a Revell '32 Sedan.

Aren't we all?
You never stop learning mate.
That's one of the good things about this forum - people tell you what they think.
