Anyone else thought of a Chop Top Xb?
 

juss wonderin....

I was thinking about the same thing. I've always wanted to chop the top, but I don't know if it would look good or not. I wonder if anyone already did it. If so, please post some pics...

For a nice weather car it would be interesting, but fabricating a convertible top would be a challenge. It would end up looking like a Model T top!

I did some photoshop work for a guy on here and chopped the top, there is a three inch and a BIG chop.....I think some cars shouldn't be chopped......xB is one of those cars. IMHO.

I don't want a convertible, just wanna bring the roof lower a couple of inches.

I think chopping anything is hot, but those pictures seem extreme, but who knows.

Does anyone know the cost of chopping the top?

Keep an eye out for Tuner Bash in Florida...Scion has a surprise..I am sure everyone will like what it is!

Is there enough room in the body to channel it also because that would be sick.... I like the extreme chop looks like one of the cars from the twenties....

you and a couple of your boys could do it yourself in a weekend. probably cost couple grand if done by a shop.

I don't have the slightest idea on how to chop the top.

Well you would have to brace the interior so the body doesn't warp, then you remove all the glass.... mark your spots and cut you will have to fabricate new a pillars and get custom glass cut..... then line the other pillars back up and weld back together....it's pretty labor intensive..... not something I could do by myself....

I like Subaru's Chop Top'd WRX (STi?)...

i think everyone has thought about it, but the cost of doing it is alot.

i cant wait to see this, if anybody goes to this, please take a camera. I wanna see pics damnit.

thnx for ur guys thoughts, i knew i wasn't alone.

I always thought it looked a lil too tall and too high for a ride height.

Making it chopped a lil, with a nice drop would make it look prettly slick won't you think?

I did this "Photochop" a while ago to see what it would look like... not as extreme as the other, and I think it works. I doubt I'll actually do it, but Cashman keeps bringing it up... :wink:

I have chopped tops before on street rods. and luckily the xB is a lot of straight lines. That makes it a lot easier to do. Model As have vertical pillars so it is possable to do the metal work on a chop in one or two days. An xB would be about 3-4 days because the pillars are not exactly straight up. the roof will have to be split and widened.

Probably something like this:

Suzuki Lapin SS Works with a chopped top. It's another boxy car like the xB.

i think its going to look like ___. :? as for channeling the body over the frame. there is no frame, its unibody.
