Hi everyone, thought Id join the site, we dont have a rat rod (yet), but in the process of collecting all my parts, we have a 1946 Chevy pick up which we love to drive around the Barossa Valley in South Australia, we were going to rod this, but now thinking it would be a shame to cut it up, so intend to leave as it is, so this weekend we are picking up another one sitting in a farm paddock, so we can start rodding the chassis, we already have another cab, but on the look out for another one to do as a rat rod.
Would be interested if anyone on here has completed a roof chop on a 46 style Chevy Pick up, I have the Tex Smiths how to chop tops book, but there are similar cabs but not that year/ make and on some of the chops, they rake the top and bottom of the front pillar to re-align, but on other ones, they make a cut through the roof and weld in a filler peice from another cab of two or three inches, this is what I was thinking of doing, but would certainly like some advice from someone who has done it before
We were thinking about 3- 4 inch chop.

Anyways, Hi everyone!
Cheers Dave
