No, it depends on how the chop is done. Not to mention it goes differantly for every type of car. An experienced chop artist can usually retain as much original glass as possible to cut down on cost. Although some cars you have no choice and all factory glass must be ditched.
The older cars were great. The had flat glass, thick steel which was less prone to warping, and tons of head room originally so you could really hammer the lid down.
Sorry I've got an affection for old kustoms.I'd trade my 7 for a 50 ford coupe quick.

alright, yes it does look better with a moded car.

three shots.
a, stock ( someone on this forum will be thinking "hey that looks like my car...)
b, lowered ( more than is reasonable)
c, chop ( head would be hitting sheet metal after a mile of driving, or you would have to lean back so far the steering wheel would be all that you see)

IMO, it doesn't look that bad. It's not very practical, but if you were building a show car or a fancy drift car, it would be pretty neat and different. I definitely would be able to do it, me being 6'6" tall.

never seen one, but it sounds unattractive. The photoshopped pics here don't make it sound any better.

Plus, doing the hatch/glass would be a bitch.
