I'm not sure what happened on the roof center section or was / is that supposed to be so high?? Either way....it's certainly something different...

roof

wish i had a pic from the side. i think so much was removed the top didnt have the right radius. [[[[more[[[

Looks photoshopped... really odd where it was welded together, and the door window framing looks really oddly shaped.. ?

Hearse

Not photoshopped. Side view photo[cl

 

[Dirtyrat]

The roof needs a lot of flattening, the angle of the door window really draws your eye to the fact that the center of the roof looks peaked like a house roof...

window

here is one i found earlier on the net to compare to.

 

[sgtpontiac]

Doesn't look so high there....

is there a support right at that point? Or could he just split it and drop it and then weld it back up.??? Question is...what does he think?? Is he good with it as is? If so, God bless him.....drive the wheels off it.....

After looking closer.....

the problem came in with the bathtub curve from front to back... when he move the back up, both of the highest spots on the roof came together.....

What probably should have happened is make the split in the middle of the rear door, and graft the two doors together, still would have required some flattening of the roof, but the window shape would have fixed a lot of the angle issues too, of course all in my own humble opinion here...

Either that or even now cut the rear portion of the front door window frame, and add in the portion from the rear door...

Whoa whoa whoa...slow down there Tex!!

I'm like a post or two behind..... DR you are correct.... would have made a lot flatter area and smooth the transition a ton...... but..as you said..just our opinions.....
