Re: Chopped/Shortened Vert

Nice 'chop, but if you did the front fender opening like that for real, your tires would rub horribly in anything but a straight line.

It sure does. Esp the wheels that are to big for the look. To me, to big of a wheel size throws the proportions out of wack. I agree about the front wheel opening also. need to open it up for function..
I kinda like the look tho. Good work!!
