Glad that you like the chop  ;D

If you take a close look, you'll see that the stones on the right side are actually the same ones as on the left side. It took me about 20 minutes to do it - most of the work is done but cut/paste - the rest is just playing around with the brush   :icon_smile_cool:

Great job Charger ST!  :2thumbs:

And after seeing this I must admit that 3rd gen convertible looks better that I thought.

Not my thing, and at the first sight of this thread I went "yeesh, no", and all but squinted and was prepared to close my eyes at the sight of one....

But, I have to admit, it works.... convertibles still not my thing, but I can certainly appreciate the looks of those two chops.

Great work. :thumbs:

3rd gens make everything look better hehe
play nice rd!

i admit if the factory had built that,it would have been pretty nice,aftre seeing the chops,but i still wouldnt cut one up to do it.you would probably need a tube frame of some type,and reinforcement behind the dash and rear seat to keep it from twisting apart.

Even I still don't like the convertible Idea on a Charger even I love convertibles I have to admit that the photoshop job WAS REALLY GREAT.

Still think that Roof finish at the end is some how one of the main details on a Charger, no matter gen, imposible to reproduce on a convertible.

about use the convetible stuff from a Donor... No B bodies avaliable since 71 so it would need another different donor, maybe an earlier B body or an E body ???. Definitelly will be a custom job

You might do it with an E body setup or you might have to go to another line like Ford or GM or as you said completely a custom job.

:iagree: The rear of this top has pretty near the same angle as the rear roofline on a 3rd gen.


The Aquamax...yes, this bike spent 2 nights underwater one weekend. (Not my doing), but it gained the name, and has since become pseudo-famous. :)

Maybe even a larger car like an olds cutlass.  I know of a 72 Olds Cutlass convert. that is about the same size as my 71 charger... I am sure it wouldnt be perfect but who knows since its a custom to begin with!
