    Good job bro. After I finish my Ghia I'm planing on doing a chopped rat beetle. Good chop no verbal explanation needed. Keep up the good work . I'd like to see how it turns out .

    I read comments and will not ask same question 3rd time....will just say great job for making this way and avoid difficult change of front and rear glasses....
    Brilliant idea....
    Question was about glasses...and it's already answered....👍🏆

    That was interesting, though those seats jumped out at me, looked like they would suit 70/80's Caddy! Thumbs up for getting in there and getting it done.

    I'd like to see this done with a curved windshield SB. Laying back the windshield so it blends in with the round-top roof.

    I looked at your video, and i really liked it, i am currently working on my bw too, but one thing i did not undestand and could not see very well was how to cut the back part on the back windshield área, do you have any more pics of how you did it? thanks :)

    when you chop the top does it change the size of windshields and Windows?

    • @radonvon3120
      @radonvon3120 7 ปีที่แล้ว

      Tyler Maloney not when you do a bonnavile chop, it changes the angle but keeps the original version of the window frames, the side windows do have to be made because you can't cut tempered glass

    • @therealmfp

      so you lay back the front window?

    if i wanna make it shorty beetle how i can start you think ?

    • @spencerw3455
      @spencerw3455  10 ปีที่แล้ว

      well i never really thought about it , but you would probly want to start with the floor pan, so lift the body off after you have figured out where you want to make ur cuts since u want them to line up with the floor pan that ur going to shorten. try taking a good side veiw photo and print out a bunch of coppys, then cut out sections of the rear passngers area and try to get a good fit , doing this on papper first is the best way to help you get and idea of where u need to make ur cuts so things line up well. so probly most of the rear from the pillar infront of the rear window to about thr middle of the rear window, and maybey a good 8-12 inches ouut of the door . the middle cuase there isnt much of a radious/curve in the middle. just know once u cut the is no going back, so chek ur cuts 5 times cut once ! lol shop class tear=chers were always right about that one ...also its time consuming and u have to have confidance in ur self, itl look scary the first time u get it cut up , but keep invisioning it going back to gether, stop stand back observe what u have done and process what ur doing ! i hope that helps

    How did you cut the glass?

    • @spencerw3455
      @spencerw3455  10 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      The point of this chop is to limit the need to cut glass . The front and rear glass isn't cut, the SIDS are and there tempered which means there is no real way to cut it with out it shattering , the 4 side windows have to be custom made , I'm using lexan !

    The super beetle is the ugliest beetles ever made. Fat squarish noses and the ugly side gas door. The rear taillights are hideous.
    Your car now looks cool compared to the beginning.
