I think your opinion is a good one 👍. It looks just right....Your opinion is the only one that counts anyway, and that "be different" stuff is B.S. It should be build it how you want it... You and Jim do great work 👍👍
I like it both ways, unchopped and chopped. But looks cooler now. I also really dig the green color and the Radirs but it would also l look awesome with steelies of course!
Nice excited to see the transformation of the top. I know on my prior model A I did 3 3/4" in the front and 3" in the back to match pretty close the chassis angle while on the ground. Also got the 1928 pickup home. once I get things settled will start the videos. Know anyone with extra model A pickup parts? I have alot also that I will probably be going through. Stay tuned :)
Enjoyed the talk near the end. You had me fired up! lol... Seriously, the car looks badass! All the haters that say don't chop it or talking about headroom are just pure jealous. I know I am, and I don't think you should have ever even bought that car, you didn't deserve it.
its the internet, everyone is an expert, and everyone has an opinion. just do what you enjoy. i got the same with my build! but everyone was saying put an ls in it, twin turbo they say, so i just put a 900hp 572 in it
Chop looks like the perfect amount was taken out. It's going to be a cool car. It needs the flat head from the shoebox. Oh yeah... sticker is in the mail.
Startin to look like it should. You know Jim gets to borrow it whenever he wants right? No way you both fittin innat. Peace and good vibes from central Cali.
Matt, I think your chop decision was a good one, it looks awesome. What color are you thinking of painting it? I would give my left huevo for a friend/partner like Jim, he is very talented as well.
How do you manage to weld the A posts without covering up the windshield, dash and gauges and steering wheel to prevent weld splatter from marking things up? The chop looks great BTW, nice cuts
2:47, they make foot operated triggers, plug into the power then your tool cord. then you don't have to worry about the trigger on the tool, just lock it to on and then use the foot trigger while you pay attention to the work. Just noticed, I was here 5 yrs ago, is this project done yet?
Wow you have made a really tough job look easy! Is this the first one? I have done this and it is a total nail biter, especially on a nice car like yours! Great job!!!!!
Looks like the doors didn't fit right to start with. No way they would fit after, plus, no tubing welded inside the joints? How were you going to get them straight??
I'm in the process of attaining a 31 five Window Coupe then I'm going to replicate the John Milner yellow Coupe from American Graffiti it's got to be chopped
awesome looks way better... looks like it should have in the first place... and i typed that before you said it, i type as i watch... so i knew that before you...
Bad motor, bad brakes, bad steering, bad wiring......and apparently the roof is bad now too?? I was waiting for the big lump of bondo to fall on the floor. Good job, really enjoy your vids...........
Don't know what you decided to do about the seats but I took apart a set of office chairs they look like bucket seats just need to custom make brackets Ann they are thin enough to set low in the car
Yea, well Edsel ford and a couple of other ford dudes were the designers of the model A. But Henry Ford, and generally Auto Company owners thought cars should be able to "Be able to have some like abraham lincoln get in and be able to sit down without taking his top hat off" lol I reckon it looks perfect height now, all other ppl don't know what they are all talkin about, ignore them..
I want to have a professional to chop mine. I am to scared to chop the top. I don't want to be using a lot of body filler. Every thing needs to be perfected and to be done just right these cars are getting to be more expensive all the time and it's getting tougher to find a nice body that is in great shape and has most of all the important pieces.
lol I didn't "just wreck it" This was years ago. This car was a complete hacked up POS before I got it. Ford built 4.8 million model a's Im sure there are plenty more you can save before its to late.
i think we need to get Cecil6711 to send Jim some yellow safety glasses for doing cuts like that. Don't chop it! is my vote. So your not going to do a show car paint job? yea right, i know whats going to happen!
I think your opinion is a good one 👍. It looks just right....Your opinion is the only one that counts anyway, and that "be different" stuff is B.S. It should be build it how you want it... You and Jim do great work 👍👍
