    Great job - really good mate - I'm a Brit, living in Sweden, got a '31 model A Tudor - I'm debating a 6" cut and your "how to" is an inspiration. Well done mate

    Outstanding job and very detailed. I always looked at chopping to be so intimidating but now I will have a little more confidence to potentially put a 3" chop in my '30 pickup. I'm thankful for how square the bodies from the 20's and 30's are, don't have to worry about putting in filler plates and having to stretch the roof to line back up with the a-pillars, they just drop straight down.

    Great video and very nice work, give yourself big pat on the back. I like these rat rod because you don't need to spend a fortune on building one. Have fun with them, it doesn't need to be perfect, but your welding job is near perfect and fit just right. Thanks for the great video.

    good idea welding in brace and the weld will pull a solid 8th inch so if you dealing with door gaps make it fat cause you will be tight if you cut in perfect gap

    Nice work Stephen. I will be starting on my 26 model TT soon. I plan on trying to cut most of the whole top window out and widening the cab. Can't wait. I look forward to watching more of your vids on your model A. Stay safe and peace out brother.

    Stephen Heath I'll join in and ask that you do a vid showing the completed car. Contrary to Jake Mag's cmt, the red and white car in the drive is a 56 Chevy Bel Air. And I think it was illusion from camera angle that made it look as though sparks might hit it. I think it was farther away than the sparks went. Great job in showing and explaining you top chop method!

    Hi. I am all new to this. When I look for 1930 or even just I put in ford model A I can never find one just like the one you have. They all have trunk in the back. Did you cut out the trunk part of this car as well cut out the frame so it wont stick out?? Please let me know. Many thanks

    Theyre easy to chop, every window is straight, try a modern truck that needs 4 cuts in the roof in a letter X to spread it .

  • @jimervin387
    @jimervin387 9 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    I wouldn't chop the top on my '30 A Coupe but a 2 door sedan, sure. That was the most common body style and especially since you started with a body only, not a complete car. Hopefully it wasn't too nice in the first place but that's the perfect candidate body for a rat rod. That was a good, instructive video although I would have to wear some ear protection while doing it.

    @MrGrahamxyz 7 ปีที่แล้ว

    Quite a simple job as all the pillars are vertical. How do you do a roof chop on a car with a sloping 'A' post? Whilst I can appreciate what the Rat Rod scene is all about, it does seem a shame that this car body has survived for so long only to be chopped about after eighty years..
