    Sure, go ahead and chop that baby !!!!!! It's all just extra wasted plastic any way ( LOL ).
    I bought that kit over a year ago with the intentions of making it into a '26-'27 "T" with the more rounded look to the body lines, but so far I haven't gotten around to doing the modifications required. I was the going to produce it in fiberglass for anybody that wanted a more modern looking " T".
    If anybody is up for making a master for the '26-'27 coupe let me know, and just maybe we can work a deal.

    I say; Chop! The greenhouse is now a bit too big and out of balance. I think it will give it a nice look with a good chop.

    Fire up the torch and cut that baby down. That's going to look great.

    It's quite a bit more difficult to do but I've always always liked the "look" of a tall T with the front (windshield) chopped an inch or two more than the rear. It gives the car a nasty raked appearance even when the body is mounted level with the frame.

    ive made a little different type of the Tall T. i dont think its a Tall T any more ive chopped the roof, channeled the body, moved the axles, changed the floor to wood and did a homemade safari window and gangstercap.

    NOW, that is looking much, much better than all that wasted plastic they put in the box. Great job making it look like a "REAL" hot T coupe rod.

    That looks way more natural than that telephone booth on wheels look. That's as old school as it gets. I even have an old T shirt with a rod like that on it.
