Chopped top panel
Found this thing online today. Guess I actually could get a little lower. Lol

Re: Chopped top panel
Not really sure what to think of that. Really cool, or a casket on wheels.

Re: Chopped top panel
Just a little much for me. Not sure how you would see much driving it. Then what do you do for a seat? 11 inches is a lot of headroom gone in one if these.

Re: Chopped top panel
Agreed with those above. The proportions are way off.

Re: Chopped top panel
Looks cool but thats going to be tricky to drive. I cut my Suburban 5" and I have windows all around. Also he has no windshield maybe he's having trouble getting one cut to fit.

Re: Chopped top panel
I don't think I would fit in it without having my L-3 through T-9 vertebrae removed.
Way too chopped.

Re: Chopped top panel
I like it.
There is still plenty of room in there, the seat original seat is more than 11 inches off the floor, so a thin set of bucket seats would solve that. I took around that amount out of my 60 with the chop and the section, and I still have some taller 64 t bird bucket seats in it and I fit just fine. Imo the panel needs a section job to off set the chop. The body should be 3/4 the height of the top to maintain eye pleasing proportions, so a few inches around the middle might help the look. also the big stock 3/4 ton wheels and tires kinda hurt the look right now.

Re: Chopped top panel
I agree it has too much mid section to it for that much of a chop. I also agree if it has sitting on the ground like mine with better wheels it might look pretty cool. Still a little too much chopped for me but it would be insanely low sitting on the ground.
