My Wife’s 88 T-Top Chop-Top LS4 Build (Page 1/73)
F355spider JUN 15, 10:37 PM
It all started when I sold my silver Chop-top. I did not realize she was so addicted to my car. We would go out and she would wear her Fiero shirts. She even put up pictures of the car around the house.
Then I gave in and let Gianina know about the 88 T-Top Stephen had for sale. She said buy it.
So Christmas day Gianina got her Christmas present. She was the proud owner of an 88 T-Top Fiero.

Loading up the car at Stephen's House. Many thanks for letting us pick it up Christmas.

On the way home had to stop at Willy's and make sure the car was hanging in there.
The Smile on her face was worth it.

Ah hah !

This must be the texas t-top choptop that a member reported stopping by to see ?

Wow spider can't wait to see this one.

Nice man, If you are going to do the chop yourself, PLEASE post all the pics you can of the process as I have been seriously thinking about taking a sawzall to my car at some point. The chops just look amazing and while I know it is tons of work I think I am up to it. Good luck on your build and congrats to your wife. My wife and I got FieroThomas Fiero GT black with red lettering matching shirts that we wear too and they are like a little treasure when we go for a ride together in the car. Peace

Of course he is... I still wish I could've bought his silver turbo chop.

F355- are you going to be able to use your glass side windows with this chop? Wouldn't the T-top frame throw off all the proportions of your standard cuts?

Glad to see you back in the game.

The only tricky part of the t-top chop top is that you need one extra piece of custom glass....either custom windshield or custom t-top glass. Given the rarity of the Fiero t-top it's probably easier to go with the custom windshield. Not difficult but so far no one has wanted to complete the job.

If anyone can do it, I know you can.

I have to say if anyone can do it and do it RIGHT then Mike is the guy....Not only does it right but makes it look so simple in the process.......Will look forward to seeing the car once it is finished...

Yea, Kevin spilled the beans. For the most part the car is already chopped. I will catch up on the build as soon as I can. She has a lot for me to do to the car so it will be ongoing for a while. Your car is looking great.

You got it nothing like matching T-shirt pride.

Yep, I am using my side windows. I could go back with OEM windshield but I wanted to use the 96 Sebring windshield. I will be moving the wipers forward and making a new front tray to hold the bottom of the windshield. This will give her a bubbled windshield that will extend out toward the front giving a more modern look. Will post a few more pictures tonight.
