Hey Everyone whats up started my new project car this weekend. Its a Chop top 97 h/b just started it we got the roof cut off and we are going to start building the frame inside next week. Installed the air cans as well. Before all u people that are going to cut this up and say we went into this with no idea on what we are doing we planed this all out before we started to cut the roof off. here are the pics

so.... it's.... a... pickup truck now? or ????

I thought you were gonna chop the top as in take out 3-4 inches from the a,b, and c pillars and put the roof back on it... but this.... this is just a ... ... ... nightmare I guess?

I mean, what are you gonna do with the area between the tail lights?

Scar_GsR

like i said we have it all planed out. i will have some renderings up on a couple weeks. there is alot of fabricating that has to be done to it.

id love to c the outcome of this car

Cynikal.Mindset

the chassis looks like its gonna be super tweaked cuz all I saw was a 2x4 to reinforce it while you were cutting...ur supposed to weld in some steel brackets to keep it from twisting up and whatnot

interesting concept tho

Hmm...interesting, yet unique.

it's neither interesting nor unique. you have no idea how many botched Civic convertibles have ended up on ebay in the past 4 years. all born out of some dumbwitted idea, probably brought on by drinking or drugs. haha

and yeah... this is a dumb idea. no props here.

meh, its unique I will give you that......you should have chosen something cheaper (like an old 4th gen or something that you could have picked up for less than 1000) where you would lose less money if you mess it up.....

WHY on god's green earth would you do this......... i mean it just makes no sense. maybe its just me but i think its retarted, and i do agree that the idea probably came from being drunk or stoned. seems like a waste of a car cause this has been tried and failed so many times in the past, but good luck i on your plans for it and i hope u didnt make a big mistake on this.

shoulda just cut the middle section of the roof, put a huge rag top and welded reinforcemants and called it a day.

actually, I'll reserve final judgement till the project is done. who knows, if you do good enough work on it, maybe you get props LOL

I think that this is so hot

How ugly is that

imported_Team Rukus

that is HOT
but what exactly does it have to do with this POST?

Scar_GsR

ok well the body didn't twist at all and we have already designed a cage for it to reinforce the car. there are three of us working on the car one person has an engineering degree and the other 2 of us can weld so i am pretty sure this project will turn out just fine thanks for the critisism from the guys that don't think this will work

It can work... it's just kinda fugly cuz it's a 1.6L SOHC pickup truck now. LOL

Gallagher, WTF is with the off topic posts?

cibs

i'll wait to see the finished product it's a toss up until it's finished alot of cars look crappy in the process.... it depends on what is done with it now to see if it'll be nice or not

imported_JookSingKid

Scar_GsR! Long time no see!

Crazy concept dood, can't wait to see it done and in person, you have to bring it around this summer.
