Barney Eaton Posted November 8, 2007 Share Posted November 8, 2007 No but I did a Reatta wagon once. I think the pictures reside on an old computer as I cannot find them now.The little wagon was cute. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonlabree Posted November 8, 2007 Share Posted November 8, 2007 Why would you want to chop the top on a Reatta?There is so little headroom in them now, that if you chopped it you would need to find a really small person to drive it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest crtnrds Posted November 8, 2007 Share Posted November 8, 2007 That rear window would be a b...h to cut down, too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest F14CRAZY Posted November 8, 2007 Share Posted November 8, 2007 You'd have to really be leaning back. A hatchback would look pretty cool as long as it didn't look like one of those '90s B body wagons, like the Caprice, Custom Cruiser... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Kitskaboodle Posted November 8, 2007 Share Posted November 8, 2007 What you would have to do is to go with seats that have a lower seat cushion height. A good example is a Fiero seat.You'd probably gain upwards of 2-3 inches. Of course, you'd also lose all those power seat bells and whistles.

jonlabree Posted November 8, 2007 Share Posted November 8, 2007 The Fiero Sets are the same height as the Reatta. In fact they look very much alike. The only height savings would be if you remove the power assembly under them. But you could bolt the power unit onto the Fiero seats. I have tried everything to lower the seat height.

manikmekanik Posted November 8, 2007 Share Posted November 8, 2007 Personally, Id go with installing a T-Top, rather than try to chop, Reatta glass is too expensive to cover any mis-haps.I have a T-Top car, slated to donate it's top to a Reatta, once I get the time for that project. I'm knee-deep in other projects, currently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
manikmekanik Posted November 8, 2007 Share Posted November 8, 2007 I like 'yer idea for a hatchback, Phil!A removeable hatch/window would be do-able, and could be done tastefully. Shame the glass won't fit in the trunk! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonlabree Posted November 8, 2007 Share Posted November 8, 2007 You gonna steal my idea eh, Randy.I'd like to see a T-Top on a Reatta.Jon.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
manikmekanik Posted November 8, 2007 Share Posted November 8, 2007 Hi, Jon!I've had the idea, and parts to do it for nearly 3 years!..not sure if we ever discussed it.Brilliant minds think along similar lines.I probably won't get to it this season, and would entertain selling the donor car, if you or campolo are ready to start one.

jonlabree Posted November 8, 2007 Share Posted November 8, 2007 What parts do you have?Your Lic plate holder is going out tomorrow.Finally got a box fo it.Jon..P.S. Yes, we talked about a T-top before.I would like a targa top better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest campolojr Posted November 9, 2007 Share Posted November 9, 2007 thanks for all of your inputs i was just looking at thinking t-tops but it is a small car so i figured it would look better smaller, glass dont seem like a problem i know a trick to it but just the time and effort. well if anyones ever bored and does do that in photoshop it would be cool to see or any good artist it would be cool to see free hand Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest spyhunter2k Posted November 9, 2007 Share Posted November 9, 2007 This was something I did a while back, using a pic of F14's car (thanks again F14 for allowing us to play with your pic). It includes a chopped top, an extended front, side skirts, and a raised trunk area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest F14CRAZY Posted November 9, 2007 Share Posted November 9, 2007 Eh, I think the car loses its proportions with the top chopped Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest campolojr Posted November 9, 2007 Share Posted November 9, 2007 thanks crazy i am thinking about it but it will be something i debate for awhile as you all know windows are sparce and there always is that risk i saw a good way to cut glass dont remeber where but they scored the glass heated it pretty hot on the score line then use a wet cold ran and ran down the score i would like to try it on a couple windows but idk maybe if i come across one but its still a risk but it would look so awsome Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
