Jim 88GT during his local club's poker run.

This just in.......

The car that was to be #25 has been delayed.

It seems he has someone installing a clutch for him & something went wrong with that job.

He'll be here sometime in December instead.

Ahhhh. I hope he makes it in December. Hey Archie. It looks like for the year 2005 seems to be your "best" year for choptops.

Only 2 Archie chops for 2006?

I bet a few of those listed as 2005 were in the shop still in 2006.

I think it's time for some finished choptop pics...

Number #024.

Owner: Cornersonrails.

Hmm...Somebody is having a great thanksgiving.

Just so you choptop guys know, engineman's choptop is on its way to Canada where engineman's excellent work will be completed and make its debut at the Dells Run 2007

Will have updates soon

Bob

Well I had picked up my chop today and could not have been more happier with it . I had gotten looks everywhere I had gone with it today. I am pretty sure they were looking at how low and awsome the car was and that they could care less about the paint scheme. I highly recommend having a chop top fiero. I had looks before from some with my car but now everyone is looking and admiring it ...... To drop my car off and pick it up 6 weeks later and write a check was the best feeling. To those of you who have the skills and can do a chop yourself..........Why do it ?..... Archie takes care of all the headaches and hassels. Puts all new custom pieces in the interior , glass for the rear, side windows, refiberglassing, and I am sure a lot of other stuff I dont know about. ........I say Pay the money and sleep worry free about your car .

was the purpleP.E.'s notchie/on GT rear clip a kit or was it just a one off job?
If it isnt it should be that thing looks awesome.
IMHO the hotchie looks better than the GT chopped
like the stinger and this:

quote Originally posted by 4-mulaGT: was the purpleP.E.'s notchie/on GT rear clip a kit or was it just a one off job?

It was originally a "fastback" but the roof/sails where tweeked to resemble a notchback making it a "one-off." Notice the rear tail lamps.

Any new pics out there ??
