chop top ?
 

ok i have a 89 civic 4 door to just do anything with so if i cut the roof off of it what would happen would the car fall or break in half ?

Re:chop top ?
 

Make sure you reinforce the frame with jb weld and you'll be good to go. Seen it a thousand times.

Re:chop top ?
 

there was a car on pimp my ride held together with liquid nails. it looked like it was rolling down the road ok on the show, im sure it will work well for your car.

home-depot sells liquid nails.

Re:chop top ?
 

no realy what would i have to do to make it work ?

if it wont work just let me know b4 i go cuting the roof off of it i seen it done to a crx but it was a show car proly never even driven it was nice but sad at the same time

Re:chop top ?
 

chop that ---- off man. then post pictures. i would do a write up also. im sure you have searched the internet to find the info, and couldnt come up with any so make a write up so everyone else knows. if you dont know how to post pictures. email them to me, i will post them for you.

also, i used to work at a hotrod shop, had my hands on a few chop top projects. just make sure you cut it straight, and you will be good. hope i was a help.

goto www.howstuffworks.com and then search for "unibody chassis" then look up "how to a brain" then you might have an answer

Re:chop top ?
 

dude, just listen to me, dont take the flames from everyone else, ive done it before, it will be ok.


BTW, where are you from?

Re:chop top ?
 

hes right dude just listen to him, liquid nails is strong stuff, but do you think construction adhesive would be better or no?

Re:chop top ?
 

3m makes the liquid nails, although, i dont think you will need it, just a sawz-all. thats what we used. now, if you are tryin to do a chop top, and put the top back on, and have no welder, the liquid nails will work just fine. ;)

you should be good though.

the convertible wouldn't be half bad if not for those cheezer rims and flaming ass orange paint job

Re:chop top ?
 

I like the chopped orange civic better, but w/o the rice stuff.

Re:chop top ?
 

nothing that a sawz-all cant do ;)

Re:chop top ?
 

I can't believe anyone is entertaining this idea. ::)

Re:chop top ?
 

take off the roof and all the glass except the windshield... siiiick weight reduction

Re:chop top ?
 

look when your done give me 5 bucks and ill take it to my dads junk yard and crush it.....we have a worthless dreams section in the yard for projects like that.

Re:chop top ?
 

knew a guy that chopped a 4dr eg here locally, he had a gs-r on a big shot, it use to stomp on some trans am's and camaro's SS's it was friggin hillarious

Re:chop top ?
 

ok so it can be done rite ? will i need to weld anything to the frame to make it not break or is that not a problom here ?

the civic is just siting there. i was up for 30+hr one night and satrted to draw out what i could do to it. and its been in my head for about 3months and i cant stop thinking about it. so im going to do it - all the rice .hehe so let not dog the idea till we see what a 4 door topless civic looks like when done .im also welding the back doors shut and molding them so they were never there . and yeah im leaving the windsheld and thats it .


if this cant be done let me know for real dont realy want to just junk the car kinda like it and im in ohio

Re:chop top ?
 

you want the truth???!!! you cant handle the truth!!!

Re:chop top ?
 

yes, it can be done, so do it. i already said that.

Re:chop top ?
 

lmfao im geting mixed feelings here i just need like 3 ppl to let me know it can be done come on for real i want start this soon

Re:chop top ?
 

Yes of course it can be done. Of course when you are finished you will realize what a waste of time it was and light it on fire and put it out with a wet pick axe.

Re:chop top ?
 

well it wouldnt be the only car ive done some dumb ass ---- to i tottled a 1g awd turbo talon becuss i was board so its ok if it dont turn out rite but i think it will as long as the body dont flex to much so will it

Re:chop top ?
 

It's not possible. Unless you jb weld the frame like I said earlier.

Re:chop top ?
 

Chop tops are cool, don't get stuck in the rain :P

Re:chop top ?
 

unibody + chopped top = weak pos and totally unsafe and stupid, i wouldnt do it. sell the car, dont ruin it

Re:chop top ?
 

you are just jokeing about the jb weld rite?

jb weld dont hold for ---- well it never did for me most of the time broke

so its un safe how unsafe ?

Re:chop top ?
 

yes u can do it. u might need to reinforce the frame, but i dont know for sure. If u wanna ---- around with it, go for it. People might call u gay, or stupid, or call your mom a ----- who fucks muddy cows... but thats just how we do 8)

Re:chop top ?
 

i dunno cut the top and run into a wall at 30mph and see if you can even get out that bitch

Re:chop top ?
 

ok well if theres other civic's like in the pics above that done it it must not be that unsafe im also going to turbo charge ;Dit and drop it to the ground

so could any one tell me why and how unsafe it could be or how to fix it instead of doging the idea thanks

Re:chop top ?
 

you have to jb weld that bitch and it will be fast without a turbo.
1. Eat some cheese
2. Hi
3. Turdburglar

Re:chop top ?
 

dont plane on wreacking it i just want it to look sweet imo and be a daily driver

Re:chop top ?
 

jagojon im not shure if your just f*ckin with me witch it seem but from other post ive read it seems your normaly like this lol i dont think i read a post of your with out lol but o well i just need some straight answers here .

Re:chop top ?
 

Nope. Random Strike stole it for his personal whacking :P

Re:chop top ?
 

haha send it to all the mods wont one of the host it for you

Re:chop top ?
 

I think there is a curse on the file. It just doesn't want to get hosted. Either I'll send it to someone and they won't do ---- but jack off to it, or it will get like almost done then some ---- fucks up. Oh well, where my bitches?

Re:chop top ?
 

ahh thats shity

im giving up on the chop top im thinking it not going to hold up to anything like a bump in the road so im just going to drop it and turbo charge it

Re:chop top ?
 

good idea, i was about to stell you to stop breathing my oxygen for being so stupid with that chop nonsense

Re:chop top ?
 

This ------- I worked with chopped the top on his Neon. He had to carry around a tarp to cover the ------- thing when he parked it and it was raining. ::) Chopping the top is a great way to ruin a car

Re:chop top ?
 

There is a guy who is in the middle of chopping his 4 door EF, he has a pretty big 4 door website, just search google for that ---- nukka.
