well sectioned is what I should be


I'm being silly now, channelling is where you cut the floor out and build a new floor over the chassis after the body has been lowered and sectioning is where you cut a horizontal slice out of a car, a bit like when you do a roof chop, but usually the slice is taken from the lower part of the body.


 


Hope that makes sense.

Perfect sense.


I kinda had an idea of what channeling was because i've seen it on the telly. Just didn't know what sectioning was. Thanks for clearing it up but I still think I need picture examples

Sectioning is a work of art. Imagine cutting 3 inches out of your car length ways, then putting it back together and making it look like it was made that way. Thats why there aren't many sectioned cars in england. Tried to find one on google for you, but couldn't. Maybe a chopped, channelled and sectioned Saxo is the way to go Mr Qwerty.
