Re: [PROJECT] Laidout53 Part II
Well I got all the windows out and started on the rust repair and dent removal on the cab, Also shaved the cowl line. Next i hope to fix the sagging drivers door and then on to chopping the top.
Heres the pictures Glass out... Dent/cracks inside drivers door... Lower drivers door rust... Spot light holes fixed (no before shot) Cowl lines filled... Gas filler hole shaved... And last but not least my crude photoshop of what it should look like chopped, Im thinking 5 1/2 up front and 4 out back... Justin

Re: [PROJECT] Laidout53 Part II
Well i got the door fixed and started chopping the top. I went 4" in front and 3" in the back. Not sure if it needs another inch or not? what do you guys think...
Anyways here are the pictures of the chop so far. tops off Post cut down Cut the door tops off so i could see if it needs more chop? What do you all think? Justin

Re: [PROJECT] Laidout53 Part II

Re: [PROJECT] Laidout53 Part II
do you have a shot from further back to look at the rest of the 53...as is looks good to me...but I might change my mind if I could see it from a few feet away to get perspective on it

Re: [PROJECT] Laidout53 Part II
Looks good to me. Then again, since I'm 6'3", I would shy away from chopping too much as I'd hate to scrunch into the truck, no matter how cool it looks. Of course, you could always chop the seats too. In all, I think it looks good and still leaves you some glass and room for your head without that hunchback look.
