Are you going to fit in there with a 3 inch chop? i know i only have about 0.5" clearance from the headliner in a stock coupe and i'm only about 5'9"
the owner is not very tall, and i think this is more of a show car thing. Its for Stangwerks and i think they are going to use it as a new show car.

here is a roll-bar i just finished in a 65' CHOP TOP. The top is getting chopped 3" and will be getting that and everything else done at STangwerks. Its a MIG welded 4130 construction with the TIG welded removable harness bar.

How are you going to extend the roof once you perform the 3" cut to mate the C-pillar together again as well as the A-Pillar?

Maybe its just me and by all means to each their own but a chop on a classic Mustang just doesn't seem to look right....

yeah it sure is. We do all thier cage work and this is going to be getting the chop. They will be cutting the roof into sections and blending it so that in theory it will look like the chop was stock. I will throw up the final pics when they are done with it.

I see you also worked on a few more buddies cars, Brian Shelby and Alex's 89 orange 5.0
nice work.
nice work.
yes, Alex is a really cool guy and was the first car from Stangwerks that we did.
Brian, one of the nicest guys i have ever met. He loves to talk cars and often stops by the shop just to chat and see whats new. He also has the first official G-Machine POLO shirt!
I have nothing but good things to say about the two of them!

The amp has taken a beating but the bolts holding it in were welded to the under side of the floor, why? i have no idea but that is why its still there. I will cut the bolts our later. You whould have seen the speakers and wire that was with it!

I have known them for YEARS through OCMC, Alexs 10 year project and Brians $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ shelby
because it does make it easier to weld up the cage but the main factor is that they can tuck the roof down to the bar and have a very level surface so the chop is easier to get even.
