CHOP TOP # 15 !!!!!!!!!! (Page 12/78)

Naw...I can't afford it at the moment, or forseeable future. 3 kids, stay at home wife, and house payments will be forcing me to do all my own work. A chop is a luxury not a neccesity, and 4 grand is way to much towards a luxury at the moment.

Besides, I have the skills and experience in the metal work, some with fiberglass, and lotsa time and patience. The one thing I lack is the knowledge and specifics (and a couple neccesary tools...hehe). But hopefully I can get that from you guys. The knowledge and specifics that is...hehe.

Before I get started with anything I need to get the parts car outta my garage. Hummm...I may cut that one up for practice when I get it all stripped down. The frame has no rust at all, but it's still in the guys name that gave me the car 3 yrs ago.

I'll be sure to let ya know if I undertake this project.

EDIT: thanks for the input...anything else you guys have to say, I'm open to listen to.

Mine are made by a guy in Sweden. He did not have a workshop but he did it. The interior is a modified original. Using a hot air gun to soft the panels and reform them. And you need too cut the panels a bit. I have the rear speakers at the same place as original. My car is choped about 2.5" and that works just fine.
But here in Sweden there are no Archie to get the job done...
I am thinking of doing one more choptop in about 2 years time. Have som documentation from the guy that did mine.

anybody who says the chop tops don't make the fiero look like a true exotic better put down the chronic and take a look at this comparison !

Remove the wing, slap on some HREs, throw in some aussie trim modifications,......

And wow you have one hot american exotic !!

It sure would be nice to see a picture of the Redux that didn't look like a grainy picture of Bigfoot or the Loch Ness Monster

Can someone with a megapixel please take a decent shot so we can see what it looks like?

Hehehe i think that is part of the attraction of the Redux,...almost like it is just a myth or something !

At any rate I think the Redux is on hold while #15 gets done in time for Daytona.
