Yeah I have Archie chop top number 14. There are at least a half dozen or so done by others. Not all are active on the forum, so it's hard to get an exact count.
Which one to drive is a good question. I don't know how the other guy decides but for me it's the one with the least issues. Right now I'm driving my T-top, which still gets a lot of looks. I had a guy follow me into the gas station asking a lot of questions about it. He didn't speak much english but I understood the "bueno" part of it.

Those wheels look awfully familiar! Even looks sorta the same color as Rie's car in that picture. I have to admit that I didn't realize this new one was a GT though. I thought it was a notchback.
#15 is off to an excellent start. One of the few 88 Chop tops out there, and Cadillac powered. Hmmm, I like the sound of that. And the first Red fastback Chop top, (to stay red).

Yeah, Archie I get the joke.

But you know I had to get something different posted up. We've done so many of these on PFF & the proceedure doesn't change all that much that they all start looking like the last one. I hope I'm not boreing the PFF members.

so thats like 12gs+ into chop tops, i bet archie gives him a deal for the business and the advertisement, if theres one car that makes people want one its the silver car with lambo doors. i cant wait to see what happens to this one. Hey madcurl how old are you anyway, just curious i never know anything about anyone on here except they have sweet fieros. Anyway im 21 and a do it myselfer. i work on GM big blocks, really big blocks 20cyclinder train marine genereator motors.
Originally posted by Will-Martin: OK, Now I am confused. I thought Curley was chopping that custom beast he has been working on for the past X months?

Only Curley knows for sure, but I think his plan is that the 88 go to the Chop Shop first and become the Redux.
Yeah Curley only likes Chopped Fieros, so he wants them all chopped. I couldn't agree more, except I need Archie to start chopping T-tops then I might bring him some more business.
Boreing? I think most of us look forward to anything that is comming out of the shop and "we" get mad when were not updated. We even pick-a-part things in the background, inquires, and so forth. Yes, not many of us get to work-at a job which we truely like.
So your shop and other(s) are the common guys, "ESPN/Discovery" channel for Fiero junkie's.

Hmmmm.....with all of those home-made chops today, I'll bet that mock-up rear window board would be worth a lot of money if it landed in the wrong hands?
Archie, you better lock-it in the vault when finished, hehehehe.
All jokes aside, I talked to Jerry at XS Custom. He said it would take 3 weeks to make the Fiero VDC kit. Franks's wife VDC Fiero has been fixed with a new door too. There was some issue with the door.
