    I think he took too much out. Maybe if he would have taken more out below the windows it would look more proportional.

      Yeah, I don't like "chopping for the sake of chopping". IDK if he realizes that it would actually wheelie better if he left it full height.

        Proportionally, I just feel that angle chops look better on vans. Just a straight cut makes em look 'squished'.

            its a lot more work, but anything over a few inches needs to be chopped on lower portion too.
