Re: Need how to advice on chopping A top

I chopped a 54 f100 7 in front and 6 1/2 rear. I would post up pics but i do not want to ruin this site with trashy pics of that truck. I researched for three months and looked at alot of chops. Just take your time and think it out and it will come out freat. The hardest part if making your first cut. I used only my top, cut a straight across and down the middle. When u take the top that low(my chop) it separated alot. I used a skin(blazer roof) hammered it into shape and welded it on to the top. Then hand formed the rest. I also used 1 inch square and ground it down to slide into the front windshield pillers so when i welded it back it has more support. I also suicided the doors. Let me know if i can help.
