Well, I'm getting ready to chop the top on my 26 Model T two door sedan.

Not as easy as one might think.  The top actually gets wider as it goes up.  And the window tracks are on an even more acute angle.

If any of you all have pictures of Model T top chops in progress or have links to pictures or on-line articles I'd be most appreciative.

I'm also told there are some good pictures in a book tiltled "How to Chop Tops in 301 Pictures" but I have yet to scare up a copy or get my mits on scanned copies of the relevant pictures.

Any help appreciated.  I already have a roadster.  I don't want to screw up and have a T tub too.

I found my HOW TO CHOP TOPS book (Tex's) and it only goes back to "A's".  I see amazon has it for about $14 and the one you are looking for and it is "only" $80.00 (wow).

Guess that isn't much help, but I guess $80.00 is less than finding another body if you are worried about doing it without a book.  Just do everything backwards from what you would normally do  :wink: ,

I may cough up the $80.  I'm surprised no one here, at the HAMB, or in my circle of hot rodding friends has a copy.
