Not early, but chopped.

Heres mine still in progress.
Another shot, this angle really shows the chop.

I prefer yours to the other "tapered down look".  |

It's the same slant chop as was Kid Deans that was done back in the 80's. I have the original article from VW Trends or Hot Vw's, no sectioning the roof as is the case with most chops.
Next car will be more extreme but for this one I think the angle looks great.

This is mine before I started any work on it. After 2 years, it's almost ready for primer.
This is about 6 months ago
