    5.5 inches is the perfect chop
    On an a. Leaves the windshield at 6 inches.

  5. Scrap- I've said it many a time before but I'll say it again, your coupes are bad ass.always loved your bare metal one.it inspired me to do mine..till I realized its just too hard to maintain for me.I too love louvers. Your chops look killer.I think on my car the chop won't look as heavy since I've now got 3" channel and extensive susp. Change/lowering now

  11. My car looks similar to that one! Even the louvers.my car is a lot lower tho.I'll try to upload but having trouble on my tablet.thanks for the enthusiasm fellas!
     
  12. Pics suck but.. First chops I cut the back window. This chop I cut above it.the car didn't have a back window section so I put one in.well I put it in too low,always looked goofy.so this time taking it out of the top fixed that. Keep in mind this was a model a special.not a real hard top.so all of that I have made.and I'm not the best!
