Well go my roof chopped at 4" and is coming along. Taking the body off the chasis next to start on frame.[;) Does it matter what you do first? I just had to chop the roof first, it was a good motivator!! I want to get the body off so I can drop the engine in and fix brakes and front axle!! Dropping the suspension instead of channeling, I'm to tall!! YAY RAT RODS!!

A lot of guys want the body on the frame before they chop it, so it is less likely to move around on them. I like to chop mine first, because it is easier to get around it, and turn it over, or what ever you need, while you are chopping it. Plus I can see where the build is going much better.
Good job on yours! Looks good.
 
That was my thoughts Bonehead and Thanks!! I have to make some patch panels and I thought that would be easier off the frame. A little by little...I am shooting for the end of spring to start of summer with my schedule willing![;)[;)
 
Looks good, I choped and canneled mine and removed about 3" from the bottom of the shell and doors.

I didn't chop the windshield though.
