Never to old to have a happy childhood
Well, after much thought we started the chop of my 50 Chevy truck today. I decided on 4" Everything went good so far. Some of you have said that you don't have to be exactly on line and that's a good thing. I started one cut with a hack saw to please the rod gods, then went to the sawsall. I think that a saber saw would have come in handy and I have several but no blades. We were deep into the cut when we decided to try the saber and found out that I didn't have any blades. The sawsall did good but was hard to keep on the line. We had to cut the top into 5 pieces. After having a tip that I didn't have to cut the back half into because the window would be bigger on top that on bottom I found out that when the top is lowered down the top of the rear window is smaller that the bottom so I had to cut the back half into also. All we did today was cut it into pieces and tomorrow I'll dress up all the edges and grind a couple of inches where it will be welded back together. The front half was cut into 3 pieces because of the ridge in the middle of the front of the top. I'll follow up on this when we get the top back on. Here come the pics. Harleyboy
