Hey engine man, long time no see ! Several of the noses were made. Madcurl has the molds in California. He needs a fiberglass guy and bonafide interest.

Choptop crew together again in Las Vegas for the 2021 SEMA show.

It was awesome show and great fellowship. Tons of stories and laughs.

I wonder if he could work out an agreement with the guys over at PISA. They're in Phoenix, Arizona, not sure how far that is from Madcurl (not sure what city he lives near). It is a nice nose!

Forums, in general, are seeing a lot less traffic thanks to The MetaFace or whatever they're calling themselves this week. Just sucks that there is an even greater instance of repeated questions there, because there isn't a fantastic forum of information to search!! Or so I was told by Chug. I do not have a FB account, and have no plans on getting one by my own choice.

That is a gorgeous car.
I love the sleeker lines on chop tops, and this one has suicide doors, which I also like. My biggest concern with this setup is with the increase windshield slant and choptop, one must be careful, short, or have a lot of room to open the doors wide to get in and out without knocking your skull against the A-pillar.

If I had the liquidity to buy this car, I still would. lol

The First Suicide door swap I did was the LT1 Stinger ChopTop.

With that car the suicide doors made it a lot easier to get into (& out of) the car.

My current ChopTop car is #21 with normal doors. I'm 6'2".

With a ChopTop & normal doors, (like the GBCT) I got in the habit of putting my Right forearm on the underside of the "A" pillar. Then I just duck under my arm. Once you try it a few times, it becomes a habit I do on all Fieros.

Robert Cranwell out of North Carolina with his mostly finished choptop.

I believe he did the chop himself using the Archie guidelines and kit.

It's looking pretty awesome man! I admire anyone willing to do this kind of work to their car. I wouldn't have the nerve. lol

For posterity here is some additional info on the tail lights he used (from the listing he linked), so people can still find them after the listing expires:

Listing name: 4X 4inch Red White Round LED Truck Trailer Stop Turn Signal Tail Brake Lights
Seller: car-top518 (though they have a generic name, they have over 5k reviews at this time)
Price: $28.99 (appears to be for a set of four, going by the listing name)
Vehicle compatiability list (to help find them if needed) is mainly trucks. Included 2008 Dodge Ram (multiple sub models) and 2008 Ford F150 (many, many sub models)
