![]() ![]() Hi, didn't read anything on what to do about the glass. Last edited by DST155 on Fri 2:04 pm edited 1 time in total This is my chopped 1965 beetle, It has had around 4 inches chopped out Great write up! I've been thinking about lowering the lid on my '66 and was wondering if I could get some advice. I've cussed the car many times, but I've stuck with it and should be doing the filler/smoothing in the next two weeks, as long as my work schedule permits. It's a more difficult process, but worth in in the long run. ![]() Lowered the roof line 6" and widening the fenders. i just don't like it for the look I'm after sorry not trying to offend those that have it or do it. ![]() What a great write up! and it leaves me with just one question, what's a guy to do for similar chop while retaining fenders and rear deck lid as is. You'll have to do several pie cuts at the upper and lower A pillar to get the alignment right at that point. The rear pivots at the wedge cuts and is welded back up, keeping the rear window frame untouched and stock. Basically, you are doing a wedge cut at the rear and lowering the front to the hieght you want. I'm assuming you mean the rear window and not the rear side windows. He's workin on it, but top isnt finished yet.īrilliant idea on moving the convertible top forward and down to match the chopped windshield!!! BTW, on chopping a sedan, keeping the lower body stock (no rat rod look) how would you keep the rear window as large as possible on a 58 and later Bug and how would grafting in an oval section be done on a "flattened" roof line? I am racking my brain on this!Ī cappella style chop will keep the rear window the same size as stock. ![]() did this vert above ever get finished? i was just thinking about chopping the top on my 64 vert and turning it into a fenderless rod. And look how fast it can go just siting there (see speedo).īringing back an old topic. How, with the top down, there's no baby buggy shape above theĭecklid. Sunk the top down and forward to meet the windshield frame. Heres one I've been working on for a customer. ![]()
