You are not wrong there.

When we put that concept on paper for the final time over ten years ago, I had made several drawings with different door and window shapes.

The long back window and how it is fitted is what makes that version look out of balance.
But the owner and his builder liked it that way

hey ratbox,

what about apair of suicide doors... 8) 8) 8)

ps, i would have to agree with DR, (again)... i think that they look better unchopped...

or if i was going to chopped the wagon it would be about 1 - 1.5 inches lower & it sound like a lot of F@#K'N around for such a small amount of chop...


each to their own but, right...

"CHOP IT"

Hey sputz, what about a little venitian blind in the second rear window, oh and larger whitewalls.


ratbox, ammend the flash kit to suit, and i think you will have a winner.

Matty
I have chopped cars as little as 1 1/2" for that special look, people stand in front of it for ages. Trying to work out what is different about it.

Most people think all chopped cars should look chopped, speculating on three or more inches to be removed. For some vehicles this works, but sometimes less is more.
Three inches is an accepted and usually safe amount to remove.
A car must be balance from roof to ground and front to back, proportions can make or brake the finished car

The two inch chop, combined with the other window and door mods on Scotty's versions gives it balance. (my opinion)

Mez
What are you doing with your over chopped wagon?

to be honest i still prefer mattys version
don't know if it is or not but scottys version looks streched and if i wanted the second window i wouldn't make it pillarless, it'd be one long window or nothing
