To chop or not to chop, is that the question?

The Lightning Bug has the flattest chop Ive ever seen! The WagonMaster isnt much better. Im not a big fan of the yellow late model- Ive never seen a post 65 car that looked right chopped. I think the thicker pillars of the earlier cars makes a huge difference. The yellow car is also wedge-chopped with nothing taken out of the rear window, and they raked the widshield back. This keeps the "roundness" of the roof intact, but it makes the car look "hump backed" to me. As you can see they had to pop the decklid because it no longer fit either.
The Goss chop is one of the first, and the best ever execution of a chopped VW- its flawless!!

I agree about the yellow bug, the rear side windows also look a little funny to, But what about "Dr Gonzo" wasn't that a post 65 car?

i'm going to chop the roof on my 64 gasser project.......along the lines of Thunderbug, Snoopy or Small Wonder,i prefer the more extreme look of the angled windscreen.
it'd be great to see a really nicely chopped super-detailed old school cal look car, for me too many of the chopped cars i've seen have been too far towards custom with a lack of style/taste in the overall look of the car.
there's definitely a lack of nice chopped cars on the scene.
do it dude.
anyone have any pics of the porsche india red chopped early car with color coded real BRM's, it was a big car in the USA in the eighties i think...i seem to remember it had nice lines.???
