Quick update on the chop.
Didn't work on it yesterday due to life getting in the way. But back at it now.
So I spent about 2 hours tweaking the roof and posts to get things lined up better. The picture of the cab corner shows how close the top and bottom cut are to each other. And I believe that I will be able to bring them even closer yet.
When we cut the top off we cut the very bottom line under the window panel and just slid the back panel down inside the cab still attached. So if you look inside the cab you would see it hanging there. When I get things where I want them I will run my thin kerf cut off wheel along the cut from the outside of the truck using the exsisting edge of the cut as my guide.( Hope that made sense).
And the last 2 shots are a before and currently profile.
