Cheers buddy! :-X22 |
I meant in order to walk through doorways or sit in a truck. My head already scrapes the roof! A Stetson might protect my forehead from those low doorways though. I already have to go with low heels on my boots.
And cheers right back! |

In basic concept a chop is done by cutting the roof off and into 5 pieces. With this roof you have the additional of needing to stretch the cab corner behind the door. The roof gets longer and wider when chopped which is why the 5 piece cut. In all honesty if you do not understand how to chop a top I would never attempt a section. Do you know what sectioning is?

That's right. Formerly known as "channelling." A lot of unforeseen problems will arise in the process.

yours is chopped? got any pictures we can look at? how much was it lowered by?
Rich And channeling is where you lower the whole body over the frame by raising the floor pan. Different from sectioning. |

sectioning is taking a slice from around the belt line of the car/truck to make the body slimmer if I remember correctly
Channeling and sectioning are 2 completely different ways to customize a vehicle. Sectioning is a very involved process but channeling is easier of the two. Sectioning removes height from a vehicle. Channeling puts the body close to the ground. Red Hot Hotrods-Chopping, Channeling & Sectioning Part 1 |
Mine has a 3" chop and body dropped.
Here is a pic of it with no roof. http://img33.imageshack.us/img33/2594/photo66w.jpg |
The truck looks great. Can you tell me what size those tires and wheels are?
Thanks
