Re: Brave or crazy? crewcab build

Started working on roof trying to get truck roofline, worked on it for a few hours but still think it needs to come down some. Still looks a little puffy in the front.

Re: Brave or crazy? crewcab build

Great work on your roof! Did you just trim until it started to fit better? Are you going to cut the rear cab roof and butt weld it, or leave it over lapped like that and weld it?

To answer your other question i was not sure how the roof was going to work out so I started by cutting it at the body line where the slope starts.
Then I knew I was going to have to cut at least 1 inch out so I cut that out of what was still remaining on burb. Then I set roof on straped it down with a few ratchet straps until i got the shape i wanted then bent and cut what was left on roof to fit and tacked it up. I had no idea how it was going to work out but ended up looking ok. heres more pics

The roof proportion can make or break a crew conversion....I think you nailed it

Re: Brave or crazy? crewcab build

There is no question you have courage, most guys wouldnt attempt this without years of fabricating experience.
Just one question though, is it liquid courage?
