1949 Ford

This is my first time doing this. I want to chop the top of the AMt 1949 Ford. I dont want to just sit down and hack away. Thats why Im asking for help!! Anything anyone can say will help me out

Thanks a million

on that car you'll have to cut the top into 6, maybe 7 pieces. google "chopping a top" , or "techniques for chopping a top" and see what comes up. Doing this job is really not that different from doing it on a real car, so look at the way the 1:1 guys do it, and follow suit.

I don't recall the FAQ having a "chopping a top" tutorial, but that doesn't mean it hasn't been done on here before.

Check Jimmy Flintstone first. Perhaps you will find a resin chopped body for a moderate price.

The current issue of Scale Auto has a very good supplement article on how to chop a top and other customizing articles.
