I think the guy got fed up with all the negative criticism and left the forum.

Personally I liked was he was doing and hope that he is still lurking among us and will post some up to date pictures. That would be one mean looking coupe if he finished it.

If you find my advice useful, then please give me a positive rating, thanks...

You can't stop thinking about choptops once you get bitten by the bug..........Are you ready to buy it back yet??

------------------

You thinking of selling??

Speaking of "Whatever happen to that choptop," what about the black one that was chopped and stretched like 4 inches? It was black and called "Inferno." I have tried a few times to located this car and no one seems to have a clue. He was part of one of the Texas clubs for a while, the San Antonio one I beleive?

Slammed, there was never one like that in the San Antonio club....maybe that will help you narrow your search.

WOW! I hope that car gets finished. That would look scary as hell with GT bumpers and side skirts.

------------------

Well, I just emailed him the link to this page- also inviting him to stop back by and give us an update on his project! Let's just hope he is still using his listed email address!

Looking for Fiero posters?

That car will look sweet as hell! So if your reading this, come back.

Yup, one of my friends said for him to lower it to give it that street cruise missile look...

I agree, If he leveled the roof a little it would look good. The higher 4cyl bumpers and stock ride hight make it look like a wagon. Lowering it and GT body updates would make it look awsome. If I were to chop mine I would probably not go that low though. I'm also 6'2". Great job for his first body mod ever though.

That car is seriously cool! I can't imagine driving it though because I'm already out of headroom.

Every year I go to the NHRA drag races in Brainerd, MN. You'll find lots of wierd things driving around the campground of the race track. Last year a guy turned up at the track with an honest-to-god street legal 'barc-o-lounger' that would do somewhere over the speed limit. Funniest thing I ever saw. It looked like Archie Bunker's recliner going down the highway. It had a reading lamp on one side and a magazine rack on the other. It had a seatbelt just like a car. Turn signals on the corners, headlights, full brakes. The driving position was literally like sitting in the chair and driving down the highway.

That being said--I'm sure this car is street legal---as long as it's got a seatbelt and brake lights.

I hope you finish this project! It's too unique not too!

I can admire the labour,but It was done very sloppy the front is too high and the rear is on an angle to the right.

Not my piece of cake

This brings up a small thing I don't like about the choptop conversions. The roof slants back and dips in behind the sunroof area. I realize to correct it, the pillars would need to be shortened by about 2 inches in the windshield and a new windshield made which would severely add to the cost.

All Fiero roof slope down at the back to meet the rear clip section, look closely.

T-Top's it's more noticeable, and choptops enhance that detail even more.

looks great

thats awesome! I say get the GT bumpers and lower it, but maybe I'm partial to GT's
--Bryson

In order to really get that sleek low profile look (ya, I know, he already chopped 5" off the roof! ), it needs to be lowered at LEAST 3" and a set of 17s or better to set it off.

Doesn't look so bad now that it is painted though!

tanks agian for the interest .the windsheild is stock the rear glass is flat 2 layer saftey glass and the sides are lexan they slide in door and close at top with 2 aluminum levers but police here say they are to dark to use at night so i usally drive with drivers side out..also i noticed a thread starting on doors i'm already working on a design and frame for gull wings on mine ..door is in the way a bit when getting in..will keep up dated..does anyone have a v-8 kit there not using at a resonable price

Very nice work! I really admire your craftmanship. Are you planning on lowering her at all. The v8 will make it as fast as it looks. I wonder if the aerodynamics are better now.

Could someone with PS lower and add rims?

Cory

Looks great, but I think that I agree about it needing at least 17's and a significant drop! Lookin' sharp though!

I'm suprised someone hasn't already photoshopped a drop and some 17's.

(What do you bet somebody does now)

Anybody have the skills to graft a GT facia onto there?
