    Hey all, Figured I’d re-introduce myself since I haven’t been on here actively in about 10 years. Recently seen a post on FB that lead me back here to lurk! Had no idea the forum was still active, glad to see it’s still thriving!

    I have to agree with ya there, but it doesn't look as bad now as it did when the first guy bought it. He gawded it all up with tacky add on cliche' ****.

    Hard to see in this picture, but look at lower corner of windshield. It depends on where you make your pillar cuts and how much you take out, sometimes you gotta do both cowl and roof

    Sam, I don't split the roof corners, I pie cut the bottom cowl corners and bring them in. Makes it easier, for me anyway, when I do the door frames.

    1946 Oldsmobile 78 Reserection {my way}

    With that being said, I'm currently doing a 2 door with a much more aggressive chop , 4 front and 6 back I'll apply the same principle but will still need to make up an 1 1/2" so my plans are to move the rear window up a bit as well as split it under window and stretch the package tray...

    1946 Oldsmobile 78 Reserection {my way}

    This is a 4 door fastback I did, so the roofline does have a different contour but this may help. This was also 3" chop. Hard to explain but remove the decklid sided, the trunk will be short due to the chop Here's the tough part to explain but "decrown" the roof, it will set the roof skin...

    I'm east of you iron rat, so I'm sure the snow is on it's way, been spared from it so far. But I'm watching the lions play in philly right now and there getting dumped on. Hopefully it swooped right underneath mid-Michigan!
