I was lookin at her today, and realized the roof looks a little high. Does anyone have a picture of a chopped top, thats only a few inches?
Thanks,
greg

If by a "few" you mean 3 inches[most common], Search Archie's threads and also F355spider's, those 2 are probably the main choppers out there. They go about their chops quite differently though. Archie's are pretty much a standardized 3 inch chop, all his cars are chopped in a nearly identical, repeatable fashion. These are the most numerous chops out there[somewhere around 25 completed I think] While I can't speak for F355spider's chops, I don't think his are standardized and I don't know how many he has done, but he should be able to answer those questions for you. Both now have glass windows available. There are several of us here, me included, who have performed their own "homebrew" chops. Most are 3 inch chops. There are a few who have done different size chops, but not many. joshua riedl has a beautiful 2 inch chop, search his threads to find his car. You should be able to find pics of most of the chops out there by searching.

Wow, the normal chop is 3? They seem to be a lot larger.

madcurl has probably the most recognizable chop its not hard to spot his car out when you see it! lol

IMO as a choptop owner i have to say i think the 3" chop or Archie style looks the best.



The two inch chop also looks very good and would be a nice compromise or what you might call moderate ?

A one inch chop would be a huge waste of time IMO, in fact why even bother ??

Because sometimes less is more.

Exactly. I dont want it to look chopped, I just want the size of the roof to be proportionate.

If you're looking for something moderate and just looking to change the proportions of the roof area see this thread.

Although my car is chopped 3 inches I'm planning on doing this to my car as well. I will be starting it soon.

Perfect. I've seen the thread before, but have not scrolled down to the notchie. It is perfect. Thanks!

I haven't driven it too much but nobody has accused me of chopping it. As a matter of fact only one person asked me with my last car.

This is without a doubt my favorite Fiero of all, Chop top or other wise:

I could be wrong but I think that is Rodneys chop. If I remember correctly it's an Archie chop. Rodney is the guy who found the glass maker for Archies side windows.
