Well hey maybe in the mornign we'll be looking at some nice pics them

[MattODoom]

Well boys, its been decided, we're going with a 4" chop. Go big or go home. I'm on my way out the door right now to go buy some masking tape to get this sucker rollin.

87 watchers on that thing!!!! dang!

[MattODoom]

Some teasers (still working)

I guess if I wanted to geat real radical with it id take another inch or two (this is minus 4"), but its already going to be impossible to see traffic lights.

[Naterman35]

Ahh beautiful.

[MattODoom]

Alright, think I'm done working for today.

I'll let the pics do most the talking but basically:

big dent in roof, get out porta-power and pop that som'***** out, take off doors, one door screw is PITA - so weld the screwdriver to it!, doors are off, tape 'er up, start cuttin, weld'er back together.

4" Chop, doing doors soon.

[MattODoom]

Raa need to host these on my webspace!

[JoeliusZ28]

[MattODoom]

i think idve gone another inch

It was tempting, but we had already done it all so we decided to stay there. Itll look plenty low by the time we channel it over the frame rails.

I felt ambitious so I just went out and did the doors.

Enjoy:
