Where's Aussie?

The grill is completely horrible.

I'm still trying to decide how I feel about chopping a 3 door...

I know...growing up, a neighbor had a new orange and white one. An original one would be uber cool.

if that wasn't chopped I would be all over it.

It's like a redneck hearse.

Bad. You should feel bad that they did it. It sucks.

I will be the bad guy. It is.... Interesting...

And I will agree with Pete...

I like how they kept the roof full length and made it into a shade.

I have lusted for a 3 door Burb for nearly 20 years. So yeah, I feel bad.

But I also like chopped rods, and truthfully it doesn't look as bad as I expected. Like Dave said, I like the roof visor. I think with a different set of wheels, a nice blacked out or brushed alum grill, and a 2" drop in the suspension, it's possible the guy might be on to something.

The devil is in the details. There could be some truly horrible things happening in the transition under that visor, joint to rear windows, etc.

If it is well executed, I might be able to appreciate it.

If the roof was at full height, it would probably be worth double the asking price around here. Yuck.

You're kidding, right?

A clean 3 door Burb in restorable condition is worth about $10K

Fostoria.

It IS a redneck hearse.

Ain't that the truth. I just bought an original 69 3 door 4wd. I've got to say I wouldn't mind having the chopped one to kick around in too.

Some of those body type trucks have an eyebrow, some don't.

Looks like it has a lexan windshield (that sucks). I had one of these trucks with a chopped top. Instead of sectioning the roof they laid the pillars back. This changes the shape of the windshield opening and you can't cut down a stock windshield to fit.
