I you are dropping the rear window down the same widthas the chop ypu will need to remove the same amount under the rear window. Otherwise it looks alright almost same way I did mine. But I cut to the outside of the taped area up to the verticle line and removed the rectangular area below the window.

Another thing. No matter how careful you are to get very straight cuts, you will still have the top on and off a bunch of times grinding small amounts until the gaps are as tight as possible. The tighter the gap the less work welding and fitting.

words to listen to!! neglecting to "trim & fit" will always be regretted when trying to weld across a 1/2" GAP!!!!:eek::eek::D:D

seriously, make it fit before welding anything
 
Ok..removed the tape and re-taped..AGAIN..lol.

Ok..spent a few more hours trying to get it right.I removed the old tape and re-taped it.I will be cutting on the OUTSIDE of the tape lines.I noticed a brace on the inside would interfere so I made the line just under the bracing.My GF keeps asking me..."How long are you going to stalk it before you cut it..? " LMAO
