    ChopTop Chevy Truck Just Gettin Started!!

     



    I picked up an 86 Chevy Pickup, the top has been insanely cut down. I think the windshield is 12 inches or so. I work in a race shop part time and I'm reaping the rewards in the form of old parts from dirt late models. I hope to be layin rubber by summer time, I just hope there's enough head room. Hopefully I'll have some pics to share soon.

    Might want to think about a sun roof so you can see when the stop light turns green.
    Good Bye

    Remember the little pcs of plastic mounted on the dash so you could see the traffic lights when the car had an out side visor. Haven't seen one of those in a while

    Reread that 5 times and don't see anywhere that he is building a rat rod.
    Is everything chopped a rat rod these days?

    Runs off to weld chop bits back in Lincoln......................

    Yeah Clive ,you better take that Jag front and rear suspension out also and replace with buggy springs. And any thoughts of shining paint better be forgotten. otherwise keep building your rat the way others label it.
    I maybe a little crazy but it stops me going insane.

    I'd been scratching my head on that one too - not sure how his chopped '86 got tagged as a rat rod build. With that screen name it seems he's going for a nice, finished look, but pictures will tell the tale.
