1937 pontiac sedan 4 door`
I am about to obtain and start restoration on this vehicle... wanting to make a hot rod out of it... was contemplating choping the top. I was looking on line and to my surprise have not found any pictues of one done. . . would it be considered taboo to do this????

Do you have any pictures? I have a 1937 Cadillac LaSalle and would have contemplated chopping the top. However, once they are lowered they take on a very different look and in my opinion don't need a chop.

Great. . .
Well, this is what it looks like at the moment. after seeing the pic posted here I think that going ahead with choping the top to make the windows even with the very back.... and thought it was very interesting that the back windows open....LOL also, this vehicle does not have the headlights with it... but I'm thinking of installing them into the front fenders....

What power plant?
Would be neat to see a 455 Poncho setting in the engine bay.

Thanks for your opinion but it doesn't matter to me... If you don't have something nice don't say anything at all... Have a good day.

Hey dummy, you're the one who asked the question.
"would it be considered taboo to do this????"
If you don't like what I write, move on to the next post and find a writer who agrees with you.
Nothing is taboo, but there are some modifications like chopping the top that just look stupid. There are, of course, exceptions like a '34 Ford Coupe or a Deuce coupe with a couple inches removed, but a '37 Pontiac sedan ain't one of the exceptions in my opinion. If you want to do something unique, try adding some material to the posts and raising the top for a "tall T" look.Last edited by techinspector1; 10-17-2009 at 08:40 PM.

Ok gang. It's been awhile. With everything that was going on taking care of my mom's affairs and making a few needed mods to the Healey, it was June before anything really got rolling on this...
