Re: [T3] chopped notch

[Richard Green <rlgreen@industryinet.com>]

<x-flowed>Matt:
I own a 68 Squareback that has a chopped top. It is a angle chop and has 
onepeace side windows and doors windows. It was done by a friend of the PO
It is a little diffrent, only because with the shorter front window, you 
have to stop futher back from the signal lights so you can see the 
lights. Or you must
lean over to see the lights. My car is simular to the "Kid Dean" car.  
It is a tough call as to chop a top or not, but in my case it was all 
ready done before
I got it.

For a long time I  wouldn't add or change anything on any car even brand 
new cars. I finally realized that it is my car and not the rest
of the worlds car. This is a very great group,  you will find  they 
tend  to not  want to modify our cars like  you  are thinking. More 
knowlage than any any where else.

Try http://volksrods.com for information on a chop top. If you do a  non 
angle chop, you will need a second Type3 roof  to do this. They will 
information
as to  chopping a top.  Good  group of guys, with a  differnt  out on  
how  you  could or what you can do with your car.

Good luck with your project on what ever you do to the best air cooled 
VW made.
