Dude leave your top on it.. you will never be able to get rid of a ford probe if you completely remove the top. A. its a bit rediculous (but to each his own) and B. If you were to ever sale it or trade it someone would have to have a place to keep it.

Question, chop as in "roadster" , no top at all or chop as in lower the roofline and still have everything there ?? If all you want is a roadster Probe bring it over, I have a spare 15 minutes and a chopsaw !! Chopping it would be a trainwreck !! All the glass is curved and tempered so cutting it would be impossible, plus the hatch alignment, windshield layback, ect, ect. Even if you found someone to do it, I don't think dimensionally it would look good. When I chop a top on 50's truck I try and have a second roof skin for sectioning. Anything "can" be done but thats alot of work and money............... My 2 cents .....

its been done before. But it would be alot cheaper to buy one already done then to have it done. 2 or 3 (the same ones) come up for sale every year

Hmm..I think the labor alone would exceed the value of the car..I dont like bashing people on what they wanna do to their own vehicles, But you could probably pick up a convertable Mustang for a cheaper price than to have the work done on the Probe correctly. Theres alot more involved than just making a few cuts and throwing a convertable top on....

I want to do this because you dont see it very often around here...money is not the object and I dont want to buy one thats already done because I want everything custom MY WAY...this probe will be custom inside and out and i only want the best touching my car! I dont want something that lord knows who has had their hands in I have 1 mechanic that worked on the motor and everything else that has been done to improve the proformance of the car and I only want the best!
