Hi tech,
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. I've seen some very pretty ladies that when put in a different light were actually not that pretty. I'm not saying the Model A is ugly, quite the opposite, I believe Ford did a great job progressing from the Model T in design for the next few decades. Looking at Carnut's site at both chopped and unchopped ( a lot of examples of both ) I think a hot rod with a little rubber rake looks better with a little less of a top.
