With the right ride height/ wheel combo, that thing would be cool

I was thinking the same thing. The large rims with low profile tires are ruining the sleek look.

I agree, but I would like to know with that chopped top how you get into it without knocking yourself unconscious!

The picture background DID add to the overall effect.
i agree, the 4X4 rim/tire combo detract from the custom chop.
That thing needs to be slammed down low to match the rake

I agree with some of you guys. If they were to lower the car and get rid of the ghetto glitter wheels it would look cool.

So we're going to chop the top - it will really make it sleek looking, and then we're going to add to the bottom of the car to completely negate any sleekness gained during the roof chop...

Oh, and let's add these wheels that some kid was running on his '85 Chevy Caprice Classic.

Sounds like a plan!

Sorry, no, that thing is horrible. I'm going to out on a limb here and say it would be practically undriveable by anyone over 5' tall.

OK, you photoshop experts. Let's see what that would look like with smaller wheels and meatier tires.

Just going by the picture, I would say he is not asking alot of money for the kind of work that had to be done to do that.
