You could always discuss choptop w/ the body guy working on mine. 4R Kustoms in Richmond. Of course it is an involved process, but if you handle the glass removal, remove interior, etc., and complete the final prep / paint, you could get the chop completed. The main hurdle in a choptop is always dealing with the rear window. Hence the use of an oval clip but you could always do a nice slant top, lay stock back window a little flatter and chop like 4" up front. Looks awesome. A fenderless car REALLY does ask for a choptop, but not absolutely necessary.
