You sure have a beautiful car ! But, just my opinion, I would have liked it better, without the top and w/shield being chopped. Nowdays, the unchopped look is what is different and stands out.

Hi Mike, the stock roof reminds me of an Amish Buggy lol ...the roadster has a sporty shape for it`s year and the roof looks better suited to a Model T...imo...but thats what different people like...personnaly I think a well chopped top on a roadster is the crowning glory..

Beautiful and understated! Just the right amount of restraint!

Makes me wish I had kept my 35 headlights that were on my wagon. Oh well, I didn't know about the Hamb back then either

Yea, you should do what you like. It's your car.
Over here, the chopped look has become "cookie cutter". I just went to a show, where there were, probably, 50 '32 FORDS. Almost all the rods looked alike, as far as the tops and w/shields went. A lot didn't have tops. They probably could not get the irons right.
