Chop Top How To: Chopping The Top on a 1953 Chevy Truck. Part 2: Fixing a Butchered Top Chop


Chop Top How To: Chopping The Top on a 1953 Chevy Truck. Part 2: Fixing a Butchered Top Chop

If you missed Part 1 of this 1953 Chevrolet truck chop, we’ve got a link below to make sure you see it too. In this one the metal work begins in earnest as the rear section of the roof doesn’t match up the the bottom half of the cab AT ALL. If you want to know how to fix it and make it good, here’s the video for you.

I’m a sucker for a chopped top on a 54 and earlier car or truck, but have never actually done one myself. I’ve fixed some bad sheet metal and welding on a couple, but never actually chopped something that was perfectly fine to start with. So when I see someone cutting stuff up, it makes me happy and jealous and I know it does the same thing for you guys. So in this video from Carter Auto Restyling, a new 1953 Chevrolet truck project is coming together and that means chopping the top. A bunch. But is a bunch too much? I’m excited to see just how this thing will look when it is all finished, but you’ll get a real rundown on how to plan for one right here. This is a cool project, and who doesn’t love this body style of Chevy pickup? Round fenders are cool and I think I’m going to want one of these before this series is over.

Check it out and let us know what you think.
