I have an old & "Very Rusty" Hudson pickup, I picked it up from an old farm, and I want to make a rat rod. posted: January 31, 2008       Answers (3)   pontiacsd      Check HotRod.com or see if you can pick up one of their archived magazines from a few months ago. They had a complete article on chopping tops and some of the best candidates to chop. I personally have never done it before but I sure admire some of the guys that do it, especially on what seems like tough cars like 50's Merc's! posted:  February 1, 2008   jameslite      I did a chop job once and I will never do it again! I completely ruined the entire car because I couldn’t get the wedges correct. If this is your first try don’t try a hudson! try something simpler like a Model A instead, you can cut the pillars and reattach the roof line to the body, very straight forward. posted:  February 1, 2008   allautocarparts      try this http://www.hotrodders.com/forum/top-chop-50s-pickup-700.html has plenty of info on procedure posted:  February 4, 2008
