Car Forum / Antique and Collectibles / Studebaker / November 2004chop top 54
does anyone have a sight or pics of chopping a 54 ht There is an old Hot rod magazine with a story of a "gentelmans chop", or maybe it was Popular Hot Rodding. in the era of 1973-78, it was Pete's car of Pete and Jake fame. Hope this helps.

I don't know what it would be like from the inside looking out, but damn, I like that look. > Don't go overboard like this guy did. > http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=6466&item=4506 076027&rd=1 [quoted text clipped - 3 lines] > >> does anyone have a sight or pics of chopping a 54 ht  SignatureRemove xxx to email.

Here is a link to various stages of this car. The top was chopped in the early 60's. Started out as black prime then yellow and now purple done in 1995. This car uses a '50 Ford rear window. http://pg.photos.yahoo.com/ph/stude1966/album?.dir=cf74&.src=ph&store=&prodid=&. done=http%3a//pg.photos.yahoo.com/ph/stude1966/my_photos Bill > Because it looks really cool?

I like the look of that black primer. Joe Roberts |
