I am pretty suprised by the mild chop. Just based on some of the pics you have worked up I was expecting a big slice. I personally like the mild chop.

Yeah, but practicality finally set in. I'm 6' 3" and decided that permanent neck pain was not worth it. I considered dropping the seat brackets down to give more clearance as well but decided that the mild chop would work for me. Maybe the next one will be all out

I'm actually having this done. I'll give props to the creator after he gets done with it. He's also doing suicide doors... which seems only fitting when you're doing a roof chop.

New door shells

. But I bought those back when I was rich. I also picked up a pair of fenders and a hood... they are all still boxed up and growing old in the garage.

The pic you posted was the source for my measurements!

There's a thread on the board here that has several more pics of that truck.

As for cruising nights, absolutely! PM or email me (address below) with any info you've got on that stuff. I've been here heading towards 3 years and haven't found anything yet.

Thanks,

Kenneth
