Nice lookin' job there, chopped 40. Looks like a fairly heavy cut.
I chopped my '40 coupe as well, with a little different approach. Only 1 1/2" at the rear, 2" at the windshield, rear window full height, I split and lengthened the top rather than lay the pillars back. I'm not any where near paint time yet, here's a pic-
