Re: Want do you think?
Thanks for the pics of the chop
![]() Just seems to me that there would be a lot of warpage welding across the middle of the roof like that. How did it go for you? Did you keep the inner roof metal also? Looks good

Captainfab No question about the warpage. I used a airhammer/torch with a round ended tool to stretch/shrink the panel back in shape. Never done it before but its not that big of a deal.
certainly used up some filler but both inner and outer look fine. Will get a shot of the inner roof today and post. Thanks for the interest. regards

Here's a shot of the inner roof...note the center space is wider than the rest.

Vernski
No issues really As the top drops the tops of the doors need to be lengthened. I used two rusted doors that I had laying around and cut the tops off them . I used those window frames along with the originals so I only had one seam to weld. With the window frame cut on my original doors I put the doors back on chopped cab and used the tops off the rusted doors and fitted them to the existing cut frames. Make any sense? regards

Re: Want do you think?
It's out of a mid eighties S10 and I modified the S10 bracket to fit the 64.
The wiring is pretty simple to mate up with the 64 , ignition, highbeams, signals and wipers. good luck
