Thread: How to chop a 1950 2 door sedanet

    How to chop a 1950 2 door sedanet

    Hello,
    I need some help in the basics of cutting a top. I have good working skills and tools. I have ordered the Tex Smith book on how to chop a top. The car I have is a Texas rust free 1950 Buick 2 door sedanet. I want to make it a lead slead. I also need help on the frame, should I put a nova clip or maybe a chev truck frame? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

    Did you every start the chop? I would love to know how you made out. Take lots of pics. I have a '50 4 door sedanette that I intend to chop as well. Tex Smith's book is great.

    My plan is to buy another roof so that I can use sections from that to fill in the gaps. Amoung all of the other issues, is the rear window. It looks to me like there is no way to not engage in reducing the size of the trunk lid. I guess this is not the case if you're an expert. How did you handle the rear window?

    Thanks!

    I hope the link works. When not try to copy in your Browser.

    I read the basic is an cross cut to weld some metal-sheet stripes between.Some chops have up to 100 cuts.
    Have a nice Day
