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.

wow. totally sucks on a stock looking car. to much of a chop too.

mylove=88rxseven 03-23-08 12:02 PM

yeah bring the top back up a little, add some wheels, lower it put, on a smooth aero kit and it might look sick.i would chop one but i dont have photoshop

fc10a3 03-23-08 01:28 PM

kinda of looks like a supra, imo

introVert 03-23-08 01:33 PM

I was totally gonna say that:D

magus2222 03-23-08 02:07 PM

imagine doing that to a s30. saw it, i dont know how much smaller you can get that car. specially ours, WAY too small.

peace

rotorpower27 03-23-08 03:57 PM

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)

raise it just a hair, and make the wheels 1 inch bigger. : )

magus2222 03-23-08 04:27 PM

ya, ew.
if you want a chop top, take a 52 merc, or a 68 muscle car (pick one)

peace

MidnightOwl 03-23-08 05:09 PM

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.

mylove=88rxseven 03-23-08 05:28 PM

yeah that is better but roof could still go up a tad not much just a tiny

no, no,. thats all you get, next picture ill send you a bill. lol

really though, if you chop the top, the hood just looks way too big

RotaryWeaponSE7EN 03-23-08 06:17 PM

thats pretty good. doesn't look to bad. probably would cost a lot or take up a lot of time.

baldeagle432 03-23-08 07:54 PM

hey yea be pimp
 
that would be pimp

philiptompkins 03-23-08 08:44 PM

you'd have to dropt the seat to the pavement.

MmSadda 03-23-08 09:04 PM

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.

dean23 03-23-08 09:42 PM

might as well buy a delorean

vegeta6263 03-23-08 09:54 PM

agreed dean

FC_boi 03-24-08 02:17 PM
