Chop Top How To: Chopping The Top on a 1953 Chevy Truck. Part 1: Was The First Order Of Business To Ruin This Truck? – BangShift.com

I’m a sucker for a chopped top on a 54 and earlier car or truck, but have never actually done one myself. I’ve fixed some bad sheet metal and welding on a couple, but never actually chopped something that was perfectly fine to start with. So when I see someone cutting stuff up, it makes me happy and jealous and I know it does the same thing for you guys. So in this video from Carter Auto Restyling, a new 1953 Chevrolet truck project is coming together and that means chopping the top. A bunch. But is a bunch too much? I’m excited to see just how this thing will look when it is all finished, but you’ll get a real rundown on how to plan for one right here. This is a cool project, and who doesn’t love this body style of Chevy pickup? Round fenders are cool and I think I’m going to want one of these before this series is over.

Check it out and let us know what you think.
