1930 Model A top
I am trying to figure out how much chop a 1930 Ford coupe has. Can someone give me a measurement of a corner of a windshield or door window opening in the center on a stock 30 standard coupe?

"I'm trying to figure out how much chop a 1930 Ford coupe has."
What do you mean by "how much chop"? "Can someone give me a measurement of a corner of a windshield or door window opening in the center" Measurement from where to where? Which corner? In the center of what?

Re: 1930 Model A top
OK...I get it.
You have a Model A coupe with a chopped top and you want to know how much it has been chopped. You want a measurement from a stock car of either the vertical post of the windshield, OR of a door window from the center of the top of the window to the bottom of the glass. I can get those measurements for you tomorrow if no one responds before then.

Yes...Either way. Measuring the vertical portion of the w/s frame on the outside next to the pillar also works. Car is supposed to be chopped 2 1/2" but I think closer to 3 1/2.

Re: 1930 Model A top
Windshield is the same,but the doors are not.The window opening on a coupe is about 13-1/2,and the tudor is about 14-1/2. That is the measurement taken in the center of the window opening,as in Dick's picture.In 30-31 the coupe doors are all by themselves,and the 30-31 tudor and closed cab pickup are the same.
