There has been interest on the specs of the offset of the wheels and the size of the adapters.
The offset of the Axis wheels 20 X 10.5 inches is +35 and that was for a Nissan 350Z 5x114.3mm. Adapter is 5x100 to 5x114.3 and the thickness I have ordered was 1.50" |

It's a small world...
Leighton works for Pro Body Parts in Winnipeg Manitoba Canada. That's where my brother Dario and I did the chop top. Leighton is known quite well to the auto industry there and everyone asks for him when they want their work done and he is great to work with. ADDED FEATURE... A little info on my smarter brother Dario. He's 75, still very young, and active. He plans to race again this year at Gimli Motor Sport Park, road course, 1.3 miles and his time is 1.5 minutes. That is one of his hobbies. He has built this race car, CRX with a 1.6 (170 hp), the Japanese version of the Acura engine, plus the ACURA disc brakes all around. I hope I have said this right.... 
He builds roll bars for most of the racers there. 
This is the kitcar that we built in '80-'85

Car-2-Low, I was in the Gold 2M4 you passed on Valentines day just before exit 264. As you passed my girlfriend was remarking as to how much drool was literally coming out of my mouth. Which was followed by, "Matt, watch the road!"
 Nice car! Just as nice or nicer in person than in the pictures. |

I had no idea the parts cost was so little. However the craftsman-ship that went into the conversion and time that was spent on it, would have added up rather quickly if someone else was doing it. How much does Archie charge for a completed chop top?

Yeah, not to much on parts, it's all TIME spent, but it was fun !
If you don't know how and no time, V8 Archie can do the chop top for you at $4495.00. ADDED NOTE: Clynt's chopper cost was only $480.00, (from what I know of) ? He also did all the work himself too and the first chopper here at WCF Club, rear window glass $80 and real side glass $400 (I'm very jealous about that) ! |

Okay, I'm back...
The material on door panels are red vinyl paint, black vinyl paint and black carpet. At the time I did the interior in '02, Canadian Tire and Lordco didn't have the bright red vinyl paint. Found it at "Concept Finishes" here in Vancouver, bright red is "SEM Colorcoat" flame red ($10). (The vinyl paint still looks like new on doors and dashboard )!!!!!  Edited by Car-2-Lo |

It's almost April BUT...
This evening it snowed about 1-1/2" here in Vancouver and this what it looks like on my deck. The rear bumper that you don't see to well is for a Celica (F430 style) from Mr.Bodykits $225.00. I had it since last fall but no time to install (had to much fun driving the chopper around)! When it's a lot warmer out, I'll chop, cut, widen the rear bumper and make it fit. |
