Welcome back Tyler. Good to have you back now that everythings settled. I'm still waiting for the ride.

Beautiful looking car!!!

A few questions... are the quarter windows tinted? If so how did you do it? With a film? And is this the same car as this one:

Thanks.

yes that is the same car >_<

and yes the quarter windows are tinted but they came that way

Tyler

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

GT-X, I asked the same thing to curly but I'll ask it to you as well. Are you going to stick with stock taillights or go with F355 lights or something other?

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

the taillights will be changed........that is all I'll say for now ^_^

I hate it, I hate it soo much, infact, that I'll be willing to take it off your hands for free - now this is about the 5th time i've said this

...but on a serious note...does anyone have a napkin to wipe up the drool?

Very good work - all the body lines are even and meet up...the swap makes it look as if that LT1 was OEM!

my thumbs up!

I agree 100% but I think he's got an LT4 in there

You guys must be really short.... I would get a massive pain in the neck trying to drive one of those. I really dont like the look of the shorter roof line anyway. Chop tops in my opinion belong on older classics. I couldnt even get in that.

You planning on going to Pontiac Nationals, August 6th, 7th, 8th?

A bunch of us Michiganders are planning on going down in a caravan. Sounds like it's gonna be a good time!

Ohhhhhh yeahhhh!

I doubt I'll make it to the pontiac nationals as my sisters wedding is the weekend after that but we'll see

WELCOME TO THE CHOPTOP CLUB. Very nicely done and I was wondering what ever happened to that car? So what # are you? #15?

We need to start numbering our cars. Are you the only one in your state or city w/a chop?

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

Looks familiar! Too bad mine is just photoshopped and not real...

Great looking car!

not that I dont believe the motors been worked over. But there wont be stud girdles on that motor. Not with little chrome valve covers. I dont think they make stud girdles for Centerbolt covers anyways.

I do know it has the Roller rockers. I saw those. The same ones I want to run(I'll go comp)

I'll have to make a trip up there once I get my car running. I just orders my Injector covers, rotors(12"), rear poly and a few other bits and pieces. Shouldnt be too long now.

Madcurl is the new official keeper of the chop top registry Do you have the list handy, I'd be interested to see it. I don't think there are two alike yet.

Kissmyss: correct there are no stud girdles on this engine but they do make a set that fit with the composite valve covers which will be added as soon as i come across a set less than $200 >_<

oh and what is the "official" choptop count up to now?

Is that a reflection of a GT tire laying in the road?

A Photoshop reflection maybe... Here is the original picture....

Choptop #13 huh.....greeeeeaaaattt >_< lol

Tyler

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

quote Originally posted by GT-X: Choptop #13 huh.....greeeeeaaaattt >_< lol Tyler

HaHa, you have to blame that on Curley. Him & I had a discussion a long time ago & I had told him I wanted to skip #13 & He argued to not skip any munbers.

So if you have bad luck with your car blame it on him & him alone.

Archie

well i just got done hanging out with Tyler * GT-X * anyway... That is one sweet looking car... I love the chop top and the LT-4 V8 alone..
Tyler thanks for the ride
