I had to remove the headliners from mine just so my head didn't keep hitting. If I were to Chop it, my head would be sticking out the top!!!!

The last one is killer, the middle one iffy, and the top one should be burned. I think the last one looks better because it's MORE than just chopped. There's a lot more and better work in the last two cars than the first one.

I'm 6'2", and I use every scrap of headroom in my 77...and I have a tendency to slouch a bit in the seat to see out better. One of these days I'm just going to have to lower the floorboards...

Like to see a pic of the drop top with top down, Oh, same goes for the Vette

I think the last one looks better than others mainly since its a convertable. The coupes look way out of proportion choped because of fins behind window and roof lines are to long. I am short also and feel like the car fits me like a glove.... Always fun watching tall guys get in the car
