yes you guys figured it out...and quickly too! the hand crank antique lawn mower motor is the powerplant of choice...[ddd
the top is certainly getting chopped, the lower portion of the cab may get sliced off to help with proportions, and the rear lincoln bumper will NOT be used...lol
the top chop will be fully documented as a how to, not b/c i am an expert at chopping tops, but b/c there are many questions on here and many pointers i want to give from a bodyman's perspective...
it will be about a 4" chop probably and with front windshield posts leaned back ...
