Customs Chopping a 1959 GM

Anybody done this?? Tips, Tricks, should I just forget about it???

I suppose the big question is Glass. Very expensive for that car. But I have a friend who can get me glass.

Anyway... I'm back on the board guys and looking for some advice...

Peace..

 

59 gm what?

 

2 door hard top

Why? '59/60 GM Hardtops don't need to be chopped.

 

I would go a little further and argue that '59/'60 GM hardtops demand to remain unchopped.

 

An issue of Rod and Kulture has an article on the transformation of a '59 Impala that was chopped.....looks bitchin'....
Be prepared to buy a few windsheilds.

 

figure out how you are going to do the windshield first. then chop to fit.

 

I second that. Looks like the way to go

 

See "60 Cadillac top Chop" Thread also up right now,should be similar.

 

Chopping that car would be a crime!
