It is not a mod that everyone can live with.  The best idea I saw was to tape a piece of foam the thickness of your chop (eg. 3") to the inside roof.  If that bothers you, you won't like the lower roof.

v8archie.com may have some pics and info.  It is a lot of work.  You need to cut the side panels, lean the windshield back and modify all the remaining glass.

There is a guy named Ron Jones in Welland ON that has one chopped 5 inches.  Last I heard it was for sale for about 4500.00.  If you just have to have one, this may be a better route to follow.  He has posted on the GTA forum.

Ha!  If he's put speaker boxes behind the seats, that would make it a perfect fit for my wife!

Wow...  I can't imagine being able to get in it without laying the seat back like a recliner.  I don't exactly sit up straight when I'm driving, but I know for a fact that there ain't five inches between the top of my skull and the headliner!

Okay, I found the ad and it was $4000.00.  It does look nice if that's what you like. I am too fat.

WOW
that looks pretty neat; but I think it should be lowered too; the space above the tires makes the proportions seem off a bit to me. Drop it and it would look like it was supposed to be that way. Cool
