Nah, these guys live by the saying "You gotta suffer to be cool!"
I've had several chop tops, and some are quite comfortable. The biggest thing is good mirrors because you can't see out of them & have to be much more aware of your surroundings. Dad's '36 Ford opera coupe is chopped 3" and is miserable to drive, man it looks cool though.
This hearse looks like one that Atti had posted at a rod run a while back.

Cool ride! Looks like something that should be in my drive way. As dwayne said "It's tough to be cool" Im 6'3" and i can see great out of my car but you have to set everything right. If some one is shorter they could not drive my car.

I'm in the process of doing that to my 67 M-M.:yankchain:
When i had my 34 Ford Pickup, it was chopped 3 inches. I'm 6ft and fit in it just fine. When i went to sell it, i had a guy drive up from GA. with plans of taking it home. He got to my house and started looking it over, and was about ready to lode it on the traler, and when he went to sit down in it, he couldn't. He was 6'4 at least. A friend of mine has a chopped Model A, and he always jokes that its a good thing he loves the car, cause no one but him and his wife can fit in it. Neither of them are over 5ft.

Josh Josh, man i love that car that is about how im trying to have my wifes hot rod pickup set up for her. She is a foot shorter them me so i will probably not be able to drive it well, Just like she cant drive my olds when she moves the seat ahead she cant see out because of the visor.

Unforchanently, a couple weeks ago it caut fire. Its pretty messed up, but he bought it back from the insurance company, and hes going to rebuild it. Its a shame, hes only had it finished for about a year now, and it won the dropped and chopped award at the Nashville Good Guys show this year. Hes still pretty upset about it.
