One of our club members here in the Vancouver area has a choptop that many of you have seen pictures of posted at PFF and at our local club's website. There's a long thread about the building of this car Here.



Being 6' 3", I've often wondered how I'd fit in one of these things.

I found out at last night's club meeting.

I don't fit.

But it was still fun...

better luck on your next life :P
if you believe in that sort of thing... lol

I love that car! A Choptop is one thing that makes being an average size guy worthwhile. And also I can't date women that tall either.

Since I'm 6' 5", I guess I REALLY can't fit.

It depends on your inseam... if you are mostly legs and have a short torso you might have a chance.

I really wanna see that car in person. I keep meaning to come to the meets, but i never get around to it. My car is dead atm, so hopefully ill have it up and running before summers end. Im 6'1" but mostly in the legs.... im curious how id fit.

FINALLY. Something good for short people like me

It sounds like it could be time for you to join the "Glass Chop Top Side Windows Group Buy" ( https://www.fiero.nl/forum/Forum1/HTML/075860.html ).

For years, I'd invented for myself various reasons why it wouldn't make sense to have my `86 GT, a daily driver (DD), subjected to a V8-Archie chop.

The most prominent of those "anti-chop" reasons I'd developed was that was that its chopped-top-compatible side windows would be Lexan, something I don't want to be scraping ice from and damaging, in a year-round DD that necessarily willl be subjected to harsh winters.

However, the glass side windows for a V8-Archie chop, which are the focus of the aforementioned thread in The Mall, "Glass Chop Top Side Windows Group Buy," have eliminated that excuse.

Good luck to you on your project, regardless of whatever you yourself decide to do, sjmaye.

Damn, I was really hoping to do a chop one day, but I'm 6'2" and only have a 32" in seam. Don't think it's going to happen... .

I was planning on doing a chop top this winter but my girlfriend doesn't want me to. I'm just 5''7" so I'll fit.

There was a video of a guy getting out of white Fiero and he looked to be 6' 6"

One way to get around that issue is to do the chop top on your car instead of hers.

Nope...I'm barely 5'10" and I have a 32" inseam; I fit with 3 inches above my head, but your head would be an inch into the sunroof.

Splash that rear bumper!
