try asking the people at Street Rodder Magazine www.streetrodderweb.com sounds like a fun project. We have chopped a '34 ford five window coupe and a volkswagon bug. Wow, boy did we have fun. They really came out nice too! I wish you a lot of luck and don't get discouraged! Go FOR IT!!

Before you do anything, get this book and read it two or three times.

A picture is worth a thousand words. Buy the latest (April) issue of Street Rodder magazine. They have an article about chopping the top on a 36 2 dr. sedan. It's not much different than your car. It's being done by Marcel metal works. They're famous for making complete cars including Boyd Coddingtons Alumacoupe and Alumatub among others. There are plenty of pictures. It's a two part story so part 2 should be in the May issue.
