WLJohnson05 · September 9th, 2008, 12:54 PM

that is going to take a lot of work.

riddlee josh · September 9th, 2008, 12:59 PM

like what kind of work? i know it would take alot but not sure exactly how much.

WLJohnson05 · September 9th, 2008, 01:02 PM

well ur gonna have to cut the top obviously, they are gonna have to make the attachments for the top to come on and off sercurely. then they are also going to have to probably build some sort of bracing to make the top of the car stronger since u will be removing a big chunk of the top stability. and prolly more, but thas the stuff off the top of my head

riddlee josh · September 9th, 2008, 02:41 PM

well im not saying that im for sure gonna do it but i would like to do some serious research on it. it looks awesome. do they make a kit or is it made custom by the owner? if they make a kit anyone know where i can get look at one?

i would only let a shop that has done it before do mine. but i have heard horror stories from this shop.

was just gonna post that link, if you talked to a hot rob shop thats used to doin chop top and section you should get good results. The biggest thing is they have to keep everythin inline so it doesnt move when they cut it. then you have to reinforce it.
