but for the rest of us, I find it almost impossible to believe that the t-top chop top can be done with the stock windshield. The windshield frame on my t-top chop top was about 3 to 4 inches shorter than stock. I just don't see how you could fit a stock windshield and a stock t-top frame on a lowered roof. Something has to give somewhere. |

I still have the broken fiero one if you want I will set it in if that will satisfy you. Why do you think I would lie to you? I showed you the pictures the frame is not cut. Back on track, the headlights are in.

Will be at the office this weekend also so not much will get done sad to say.

Great looking start, I love the t-top cars and would love to own one. I hope you don't
let all the drama some feel the need to start, stop you from updating the thread. Ray
P.S (edit) Never mind to late to be thinking that hard.[This message has been edited by rcp builders (edited 06-23-2011).]

Don't misunderstand me, you did it and I believe you, I just can't put the pieces together in my head. If a stock Fiero windshield would have fit on my t-top chop top I probably would still have it, but there is just no way it would fit.
I just can't figure out how you did it without shortening the windshield frame?

I understand. Your car was chopped a different way than the other chops is all. This one was done the way of the "Normal Chop top Fieros" so it retains the Fiero windshield. We just want to make some extra mods to make it stand out from the others.

I think fieroguru figured out how you pulled off the chop without cutting down the windshield frame, the base of the windshield looks to be positioned further forward. If that's the case, I'm looking forward to see how you pull off the hood mods that will be required wether you use a stock windshield or the Sebring windshield in your chop. It would be interesting to see a stock windshield layed in there before you mod it for the Sebring glass to see how much of the hood would need to be removed/shortened. I do think the lines will look better with the curved Sebring glass rather than the flatter stock glass, especially if you're going to be changing the nose of the car signifigantly. Watching with interest.

Ok looking at it I now see how it can be done,if you take out a 3" section all you would have to do is move the A pillar bottom more forward and then use the extended windshield and a new tray like in the 355 rebodies so the windshield can fit.
The hood will have to be shortened to match the tray of the new windshield ...............cool.
