P1000 Chop Top Club

[Delton]

I personally like taking more out the front, makes room good in rear and evacuates that damn pool that sits on factory roof out

I agree but customer is always right. Especially when he hasn't paid me yet lol

Where did you get your door toppers at to make the full door?

Sweet that looks great

Well completed the chop today! I will be painting tomorrow and put the roof on and finish the windshield mod. I will add some pics tomorrow after I have it back together. I am about 5” in the front and 4-1/2 in the back. Looks pretty good so far. I am excited to get it completed tomorrow.

So now that I have chopped my top I would like to install a different windshield. Obviously stock one will not fit anymore😂! I cut my Honda hard coat down to fit but I never have liked that windshield…still don’t. I would like a full flip up glass that I can add a windshield wiper to. Something like the hard cab one but obviously will have to be shorter. Does anyone know of a place that does custom glass windshields?

Call around local dealers and see who has an empty honda glass frame. Something with shipping damage.

Cut the frame to fit, find a local glass guy to cut a replacement glass and you are golden.

This! It’s common they in with broken glass then cut and glass shop around 100$ and done. That’s what I did

Hey all! I've been on the fence for a chop for a while, but I think I'm going to pull the trigger! Anyone have a instruction guide for a DIYer? Thanks!

👍 that'll work, once you have the correct size pipping for sleeves then it's actually pretty easy. Realistically if you have everything ready and a good work area you could probably have it done in one day. I took a weekend just cause my garage is a mess and took a lot of "water" breaks....😂

I read through this entire thread and a few others before my first cut. Lots of ideas and different ways of accomplishing end results. I did 4/4.5/5

I kept the middle headrest bar so to me the easiest way to cut the B-pillar was here 👇

This still allowed me to sleeve the pipe to reinforce it

Hope this helps 👍

Thats what I did. 4-1/2 and kept that bar. Was easier that way I felt and kept some of its original quality's

Looks great! Thanks for the pictures! I could have sworn I saw a step by step guide somewhere in these forums for the guys like me that need their hand held. I'm going to try and dig that up

🤔......

step 1......grind
Step 2......cut
Step 3......weld
Step 4......grind some more
Step 5.....repeat steps 1 through 4 as needed..... 👍

😂😂😂 you'll be ok if you have some basic shop knowledge (and common sense) 👍
