Description

How-To Chop Tops Nothing defines a hot rod like a chopped top. How To Chop Tops takes a photo-intensive look at the best way to lower the roof on the project car in your garage. Over 300 images document the start-to-finish chopping of six cars, from a Model T to a 1960 Oldsmobile. Also included is a convertible top chop, one roof-filling sequence and numerous welding how-to series. Interviews with professionals help to explain not only the actual cutting, but all the other items that must be determined before the actual chopping starts. Planning the chop includes deciding how to reinforce the body, what to do about the glass, and where to position the cuts to minimize warpage and body work later. Whether you need help picking the right tool or deciding where to position the new seam, How to Chop Tops provides the how-to steps you need to chop a top on both new and old hot rods.

Author Biography:

Author of forty-plus titles, Timothy Remus started his adult life as an automotive mechanic. After fifteen years in the trade Timothy gradually spent less time working on cars and more time assembling printed material - first a regional motorcycle magazine, then a series of books for Motorbooks, and finally as publisher of his own how-to books. Tim's books include a Twin-Cam book, a long series of Custom Painting and Pinstriping titles, a group of sheet metal and fabrication books, and another group of Chopper How-To, Harley-Davidson titles and Customize Your Motorcycle series.
