Synopsis
This book shows the home-builder how to chop a top. Six start-to-finish top chops, done on everything from a Model A to a 1960 Oldsmobile, demonstrate first hand how to plan and cut so the reassembly is as painless as possible. Professional hot rod builders share their wealth of experience through a series of interviews. The book deals with issues like cutting the glass, welding rusty steel, and where to position the cuts so the amount of finish work is minimized. This book covers top chopping from A to Z, including all the related issues that often make the project difficult.

About the Author
Long time motorhead Timothy Remus is the author of over thirty titles: everything from lifestyle books including Bean're, Motorcycle Nomad; to how-to books such as Cheap Chopper. As president of his own small publishing company, Wolfgang Publications, the former auto mechanic also publishes five to ten books each year for other authors. Tim reports that the twin responsibilities of writing and publishing leave him with limited free time for the really important things: riding motorcycles and working on projects in the garage.
