cost of chopping top?

Hello all, this is my first post here. I just sold my 65 chevelle and I am looking to go for more of a cruiser this time. I really like the look of 50-54 Chevy or Ford post coupes and if I went this direction, I would really want to have the top chopped. Can anyone give me a ballpark figure on what this would cost? The cost of everything involved (chop, glass, etc). Assume that the car would be painted by myself afterward.

I would love to find a project car with the top already chopped, but I'm having problems finding one.

thanks
Joe

Thanks for your reply. What would a good price be? $2k? $3k? How much usually does getting the glass cut cost? I can call around but I want to know what a decent price would be, as I really have no basis for judgement.

Hey Fusion, take a look in the thread "Everybody who is building a car", I have 3 projects for sale.

Got a link Dave? Also, do you chop tops? Can you PM me with some info? I'm rather new to the hot rod scene

Allow between $3500 to $5000 for a top chopped and the glass cut and installed, welded areas in primer, no interior---add $1000 for chopping interior garnish moldings.
