it looks photoshopped. I saw that picture before, and there's something to it that looks fake, can't pinpoint it. If it was real though, I'd like to have one!!!

If its real they chopped part of the roof off and lowered the windshield...I dunno how to explain it but I get what they would have had to do...Awesome body work if its real...but there would be such a horrible lack of room.

chop tops were a tuner fad in japan like a year ago, there are a few pictures of nice ones like that floating around.

They probably lower the tubs the seats sit in or else you would have to be like 5'0" to fit in one of those :D

Gotta be photoshop.

A chop like that would require incredible metalwork, and some MAD skills at reshaping the compound curves of the rear glass.

If it's real, it ranks up there with the best from George Barris / Rick Dore.

I love that car in the pic, even if it is fake. Thats one complaint I have about my car, the slope of the windshield. It would look so much better if the windshield was more sloped than it is. The car in the pic just looks so aerodynamic, I love it. :D

Google search is faster.

Old-school hard-core customizers from back in the day. GB was "The King of Kustoms". RD built some of the greatest leadsleds ever made.

Jesse James couldn't carry their welding helmets. They were (are) that good.

I think its super UGLY! but thats my opinion

and it looks fake

EDIT: btw, what you think looks fake is probably the height of the window .... if you look close the space between the top edge of the door and the roof is way smaller than supposed to be.

Well, I'll accept that it's real based on driftaholic and YYP's word...

I love it - Very cool.

Lose that big stupid fartcan - No need for it.

It looks so aggressive...although something like that would be too much work and I don't have a FB.

Scary. Headroom is already scarce enough. My friend just told me his stepdad's work was asked to do a job like this on a New Z by Nitto. Nitto offered $100,000 and the car would not be provided. They declined the offer. This shop must do some crazy expensive stuff to turn that kind of money down.
