Hey guys I still could use some close up pics of the sail panels on you chops! I am undecided as of yet how I want to do them.

Years after my first choptop dream I am as close as The Dells where Dean will unveil the Rottinchop!

Ok thank you Archie!! ya I must have a antique computer it just refused to open the file for me but the cd for the choptop kit works good I have one little request tho a few pics from inside the car looking up at the chop seam from within the car and were the factory speakers were, I am curious if its possible to reopen a hole sorta in that spot to throw the speakers in or were did you relocate them?

A few fresh reasons to dream !

A little closer

Passing on the dream !


This year at Daytona (2012) i got the unique opportunity to pass the torch so to speak on to another dreamer.

I first picked up the baton back in the day when i first saw a picture of madcurl's #11, then i got to see his widebody choptop #15 at Daytona a few years ago. Those two encounters shaped my dreams for my car. This year i unexpectedly got the chance to help shape someone else's dreams.

While standing next to my car marveling at whodeanie's work a gentleman approached me and introduced himself ( i am terrible at remembering names), but he told me he was a physician, who had been living in Asia for the past several years, but who had just retired and was moving back to the states.

He is planning to launch himself into the fiero hobby now that he has free time, and what he told me next made me smile and remember back in the day when i was where he is.

First he was blown away by #4, whom even i have to admit, looked a lot better than i thought it would. Pictures are a joke. Anyways he went on to tell me that my car is exactly what he wants to do. His exact words were " That right there is my dream car".



Wow ! I almost couldn't believe my ears. It also made me realize how far i had come since drooling over other people's cars. I fully expect this guy to make a splash in the near future, but alas he is not on Pennocks, and we may only be able to see his work at shows, or in somebody's shop.

Still it was cool to be able to see someone dreaming like i dreamed, and hopefully his dreams like mine, will too come true.

How close? How about NEVER. Too each their own I guess.

So close...but yet so far. A year and four months in the making...The RottinChop

Everything is out and the car is READY to be cut on. Tried to contact Archie vie PM here and had no response (usually he gets back super-quick, much love for him so no flame intended). Contacted a buddy and am awaiting a few goodies to begin the cuts. Hope to buy some Archie glass side-windows ASAP to get this thing done before July!

just call his shop he always picks up. He has alot going on at the shop so calling is the best way to get him.

Archie was great to deal with when I did my chop when I had questions about the adjustments for the door glass. Get a fiero news account and watch the videos Archie has on the site they will help you a bunch! or Archie will probably give you his log on info so you can view them that way that's how I did mine.

Thanks guys. Will try calling. I have dealt with Archie in the past and had VERY great experiences with him.

Next ??

Can a person just eat,...uhhh,,, er ,....have just one ??
