Up from the grave...
Some cool old top chop photos I found via:
http://www.fusselblog.de

D - meeting (Castrop-Rauxel) 1993:
I really like and liked the black one,a  perfect chop.









D - meeting 92:









Of course 1-3 cars could even be in the worst of theme. But I find it really interesting how "radical" the scene back then was with many top chops, flip fronts and complex build overs. Of course many weren`t very stylish in the view of today, but when you compare it to the scene of today it is much more decent without those really wild creations...

   How about a picture of a Karmann Ghia with a radical chop top.

     Thanks Nico for the pictures. The more I look at theses chop tops the more I think a chop top ghia to the max would look cool what do you think.

If the perfect shapes of the Ghia are preserved it can be cool.

...there´s a 34 Ghia-Chop.
Anyone got infos of this car? Haven´t seen it for a while! Guess it was a French guy who drove this at DDD#5.
Never seen the car again since that day.  Huh

Thanks for the info fabs. As I remember right I changed a few words with him but he barely spoke english.
As I understood right the chop was made by himself?!

Nice car and refreshing to see a chopped 34 gasser on the track.
Guess we´ll see his new toy now more often than his 34.
