Channeling my car

[brad]

big 41 chevy coupe how much channel?[

 

[Tripper]

How big are your feet?! Just remember... when you channel... you lose that much interior space. I channeled my '41 PU 4 1/2".

BoB

Did you chop the top? Head room-----Head room

I chopped mine 4"s and channeled 4"s rear and 6"s front.

All I can say is Head room!!!!!!! put the seats you will be use'n in and measure.

like what your doing! i have her about 6 now looking for 10 but no chop[go to www.hoosiergassers.com for pics

If you channel that much, consider dropping the driver side pan in between the frame rails. In the foot area - that can give you 4-5" more leg room - BUT the trans narrows the foot room. A little headroom can be gained by raising the front seat mounts a couple inches which will tilt the seats back some.

Ya I am dropping the rear part of the floor pan between the rails level with front 1/2 where it arch's up over the rear end, that will give me the head room and leg room I need.[

Like the way your going with it, cosmic. Tho, I think of a late 50's thru 70's asphalt mod. But, in that era, alot of those were run on both dirt & asphalt.
