My name is Kenny Baker,and I own and operate my Custom Auto shop in tiny,Elmer Missouri[Pop.60].

I have been in the HOTROD bussiness full time, here ,since 1976.

My specialty is Chopping tops. However,I also do: ~Hot Rod projects & fabrication. ~Complete chassis construction. ~Wiring. ~Air conditioning. ~Custom Metalwork of all kinds. ALSO CUSTOM BUILT FENDER STYLE ELECTRIC SOLIDBODY GUITARS!!!! ~Anything from TRADITIONAL HOT RODS to Phantom Built vehicles....

If you can Imagine it, I can probably build it! [REFERENCES PROVIDED ON REQUEST]

You can EMAIL ME FOR PICTURES... choprods@usa.net

Over the last 34 years, I have chopped.... [I lose count!]...over 1000 tops on early cars -trucks -sedan- deliveries -station wagons and convertibles.

Sorry no late models,I work on 1966 and earlier vehicles EXCLUSIVELY.

I have been involved in many Customer's cars construction over the years, Some were total builds and some were just a single portion of their buildup. I have worked for customers from all over the US.

The average cost at my shop for chopping a top is: $2500.00 Yes thats right![References upon request]

That is....

Your Top chopped-

Completely welded-

interior garnish mouldings cut fitted,

welded and welds ground down

doors fitted-

aligned properly-

and preliminary rough-in bodywork done to the stage where final finish blocking begins.

Includes a Primer/Guide/coat for shipping protection.....

Of course, Some SPECIAL FEATURE /vehicle's chops run more, but you will find I am very reasonable in my pricing.

This may come off to some, as self serving ,but here is my OPINION...

My tops are noticeably better proportioned than some I see, so I wholeheartedly recommend getting a true professional,[whoever that may be]- to chop your top.

So please do not have someone who has done only a few tops [or none]...do the job- ASK TO SEE THEIR WORK PORTFOLIO. Think about that.......you don't want to pay someone to "learn how on yours" do you?

_____________________________________________________________________ Any other work that is performed ,is billed at $40.00 per hour.[Effective January 1 2011]

[Hell -this ain't Los Angeles,man!- I have low overhead!]

Turn-a-round time on a chopped top is on average 14 days.

_____________________________________________________________________ HOW TO INSTRUCTIONS: After 34 years of chopping tops I feel I have some insight into this lost art, that maybe not everyone may have. I have instruction sets for your car/your chop so that you can do it yourself, or with some help in some cases....

These are -TOTALLY- specific to your vehicle and include: ALL the information you need to do the job correctly . Tool list and products useage Helpful Tips I have learned, that I will share with you.

These only cost $200.00 [REFERENCES PROVIDED]=Free delivery] Hey-What's it worth to get it right the first time?

I hear that some folks sell this information in a video..... That sounds all right, but that seems a little like getting your G.E.D. in a one hour video....Being a High School Dropout I can relate to that.....BUT....

Come on now, we all know you can't, graduate from high school in -ONE HOUR......That my friend, is why I do these Instruction Sets.

They are all inclusive and [I] even follow you thru, till your top is completely finished![Thats a promise] Did you ever try to ....Ha!"call a video", if you missed one point of their instruction? ALSO DID YOU EVER SEE A CHOP VIDEO SPECIFICLY.. FOR YOUR VERY OWN CAR? What good is a Mercury video if you have Hudson Terraplane pickup?

SEE-that's what I mean here- a Video is a fine medium for Porn- but hey Kids- this is just a little more involved than that,Details and TIMEWISE!

This is your -special-car's chopped top.... and you need it done right.... the first time!
