abel,
The best way to chop a Beetle roof....is DON"T DO IT!!!
Not only because it is the wrong thing to do...but when you chop the roof you ruin the structural integrity of the body...and if you are doing things right...you need to weld reinforcing material into the body & windshield areas.
If you want a convertible, buy a convertible with a really crappy convertible top...and remove the convertible top.
Just my 2 cents,

I'll second that chopin' the roof of a beetle would e me chopin' the roof of my truck it would'nt look all that nice(unless that's the look you want)to me at least.

Topic: Some more of my crazy ideas (36 replies, posted in Technical)
ok just saw on TV where they put a body kit(or somewhat of a body it) on a 68 I belive bug. That got me a thinkin' they said they put on Porsche front fenders(they called it a Porsche front end) I problaby already know the answer to this but I'll ask anywho, can you use Porsche fenders and stuff like that on VWs like ours??? They also put Ferrarri side vents on it wicth don't flip my trigger that much. The engine had dual carbs on, how much (if any) power gains do they add?? I just saw that and had some questions and something said to ask you guys(the experts)
