Join me for the project chopping a 1937 Chevy 4 door Master Deluxe! I have no idea what I’m doing and likely entirely over my head ! #ratrod #hotrod #roofchop #fabrication
Usually square and cut about 2 in away around rear window this way when moving roof you can find common placement of rear window and build to the window frame. When you cut it it will be a smaller window limiting vision and also thought to get square and even all around. Tougher this way you are doing it. But can be worked.
just found your channel, great work , i want to do the same thing , don't pay any mind to the nay sayers , do what you want , the way you want , those that don't like , don't have to watch, full steam ahead looks great
Yeah I have considered that. In fact did that on the 1946 pickup I did before (this car is only my 2nd) but I don’t have an English wheel and this car has rather significant compound curves and I want to leave avoid that.
Just came across your developing channel...consider cutting across the roof between a and b pillar that way it's a uniform move...less cutting and just a filler piece of a couple of inches wide easy to catch the roof crown and a whole lots less headache...something to consider
Thanks I’ll be working on this again soon and need to make some more measurements- right now it seems when I lined up the A pillars the B and C pillars didn’t move the same amount forward so it may be a lot more cutting
I'm liking your idea of moving both the B and C pillar back as a unit. Makes sense to me. If I may suggest. Maybe you can cut close to the belt line all the way back but not completely then lay the back glass down? Maybe? Otherwise I admire your vision. Keep up the good work 👏
Good luck lad :) :)
cut across the roof in front of the b piiler. less welding. this is going to be an awesone ride!

I watched hours of chops on all different channels … I considered that option though

Thanks for the sub! Hope you enjoy the build!
Looks so much better with the chop
And it will look even better when the suspension is lowered!
Most guys cut the roof across the middle of the front window and splice in a piece ,that way the B and C piller still fit.

Destroying the looks of one of the best looking cars ,any time you chop the top you ruin the looks of a vehicle !!!
