- This is an interesting book.It shows a wide variety of vehicles being chopped.Its a good guide on how to perform this body modification.The book also guides you in not going overboard on a top chop.One interesting point I like is it shows you how to put a later 1960's roof onto a 1950's car,and it looks superb.Havent seen that idea before.There's enough information on how to in this book but not a complete step by step guide.
It will help though.Worth considering and good value for the price. - Definitely recommended
