If you look in the Wagon Pics theres a grey chopped 74.
Yes it looks good!! I am in the processes of chopping my 76 wagon about three inches and turning it into a high to mid 6 second pro-mod dragster.
hi there you wanna see a chopped pinto check out the link to a page showing a model kit produced by Monogram in '71 , it's designed by tom daniels

I remember Bruce Sizemore used to run a chopped top Pinto back in the late 70's in Modified Eliminator, Looked a lil funny, but it was cool!
Im not sure how much youre on E-Bay but theres a Pinto on there that has a 2" chop. I must say that this Pinto is the best chopped Pinto Ive seen so far. I havent seen many. The few I have seen I havent liked. Heres a link http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=6057&item=2429375631
wow I have ta say that looks great. Im gonna do some research on how to do it and it will be done in a few months. Thans guys ;D
