Chopped Top
One of the most popular modifications is a "chopped top". The trend began in the 1950s, and is not limited to three-windows by any means. It involves cutting the window pillars and removing a section to lower the roof height, to make the car look better (in the opinion of the customizer). The process requires new glass, relocation of upper door hinges, and raked (tilted back) A-pillars to meet the roof of the car.
