1929 Ford Model A Coupe Chop at Davis Customs

[@Good-Enuff-Garage]

awesome chop and love the narration, at first I thought the music was annoying but by the end of the video I was sporting dreads and bombin' my head Marley style

[@DavisCustoms]

Thank you for the input.. I just began playing with youtube back then but the lyrics are good.. My husband is just so passionate at his shop I had to capture it.

I have never chopped a top on a model A and was wondering why it is called a "slanted" surgery. Are the A pillars cut at different heights to preserve door hinges and windshield bracket locations? Thanks for any information or insight! Thanks for posting.

[@DavisCustoms]

Jamie Fowler hey! that was my mistake (wife) he had to adjust the cuts because the pillars were different sizes. I will be extra careful in wording next time.

[@HollyDavisArt]

It was tapered, to put it in another way.

There's no such thing as a 1929 Model T. Model T production was stopped in 1927. Model A production began in 1928. Secondly, I hate when hot rodders affiliate their cars with the model T. Non model T engine? Non model T drive train? Non model T chassis/frame? Then it's not a model T. As a TRUE model T Ford owner and MTFCA member affiliating these hotrods with a true model T is detrimental to our goal of preserving history. I can't tell you how many kids I've seen calling hotrods model Ts when they are not.

[@oldtimesmatthew]

What a very well thought out retort that was. Funny thing is I actually really like the original T-buckets of the 1940's/1950's. Especially the ones with a nice flat head V8 in them and with little to no chopping done to them. They're very cool cars. Still not a Model T any more though. Today there are so many Fiberglass repro body parts for the Model A and T Fords there is no reason to go chopping an original car up. Hot rodders seldom use the frame, rear end, and certainly not the motors anyway so it's actually easier to build it that way than chopping up an increasingly rare vehicle.

[@DavisCustoms]

Sorry oldtimesmatthew I offended you for calling it a modelT. That 'kid' is my husband and has been working on cars for ovver 30 years. I just do his videos and sometimes dont post the information. I doubt this video is going to doom hotrodders. Lol

[@johnfinneran3923]

Everyone seems to be aware of eye safety, but no one cares about their lungs when cutting or grinding. Am l the only person that owns a respirator???? John t.

[@DavisCustoms]

I agree with you my husband coughs all the time..He has safety gear but nagging never helps lol

[@genemounce8302]

I've been doing this shit for 30yrs not using a respirator, ear plugs or "safety" glasses. Be a man, or a woman, your choice. lol... Quit criticizing and do your own thing. I'm sure your comment has served millions over the past 7 years.

[@jomsvikinger]

The work is really good, men the music is horror.

[@Rodsvarietyvault]

Why stop there? Chop it all the way so the roof is right on the dash. Then you will be unreal.

[@spiderchata1]

Model A's are the easiest car to chop

[@johnmiles1940]

Very BAD music !
