67 Chop Top

I am planning to chop the top on my 67 when restoration is completed. If anyone else has done this please post some pics of yours and how much was chopped. Also, any problems or modifications you found were necessary. Thanks.

Mine is a 3 3/4" cut @ the rear, & tipped foward about 1/4" , to even the lines on the drip rails out with the doors. the windsheild is laid back 8 or 9 degrees, & the pillars are also tipped in,as the top was not sectioned. pics are in my signature......69L

Between the chop and the drop... it looks like someone stepped on it...

Pretty drastic, when the license plate drags the ground...
