Crazy aeromodded Metro - chopped & teardropped

[Chris D.]

I like the look of the car.. just hope you never have to replace any glass..
definatly not street legal anymore.. So its not really a car now..

I like the look from the "B" back. Gives the Metro a fastback.

I think a chopped top is the only stone that basjooz has left unturned.

Cutting frontal area is always effective.

There are shops in southern California that do very professional chop jobs. Special glass makes all the windows fit and work perfectly.

Needless to say…t’ain’t cheap.

I found another chopped metro. This one is pretty wild looking

I've seen that one. It looks more "pancaked" than "chopped"

It's amazing how much a Metro looks like a CRX when it's flattened like that!

Why is it not street legal ?

Didn't he just lay back the windshield ?

( Which is DPS safety rated )

As far as the side / hatch glass ... well I don't see any at the moment , but are cars required to have safety glass all around ?

They cut the frame of a unibody
I read more about the car and those pictures are old..
There is no DOT approved safety equipment in it.. (airbag, seat belts, ect)
The rear is solid, no suspension because its geared towards being an EV drag vehicle..

A car that small is already unsafe as it is on a
freeway doing 55 surrounded by jackass's hauling butt..
Now people can roll right over ya without any problems

It still looks cool..
