If you missed Part 1 and 2 of this 1953 Chevrolet truck chop, we’ve got a link below to make sure you see them too. In Part 3, he takes what most would say is the quick and easy route to try and finish up the roof section of the top chop and unfortunately it bites him. But lucky for us that is the lesson we need and we see how to fix the mistake and learn some stuff that will save you tons of time and energy on your own project’s sheet metal.
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.

Video Description:
In this video I try to take the easy way out and end up warping the roof beyond recognition. Can we return from the Valley of Shame or are we doomed to live in exile on the Mountain of Sorrow?
