Chop looks perfect.

FnLow69 · 07-10-2011, 09:07 PM

Well i got to work on the chop this weekend, got the rear window tacked back along with the inside supports. in and the cab corners fitted as well as got the passanger door top put back together, had to hand make the filler peices but in all it turned out to be a productive wekend.

Top split in half

Used screw jacks to support the top

Back window

Inside supports done (not pic of the other side)

Cab door jams filled

Cab corners

Door frame fillers

Whatcha think?

Looks like you made large strides in getting closer to done.. That roof gap is pretty daunting looking..

**67cheby** · 07-11-2011, 12:18 PM

WOW...nice work as always !!

thor · 07-11-2011, 02:29 PM

FnLow69 · 07-12-2011, 01:20 AM

Looking good dude !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

FnLow69 · 08-02-2011, 10:40 AM

Thanks Ron.... There be a update soon, been working on it.

FnLow69 · 10-30-2011, 11:38 PM

OK, big update!

Im happy with the chop but i didnt like the front window. still looked to big and aslo wanted to take some of the crown out of the roof, so i lowered the frame work an 1/2". Then i removed the seems on the A pillers. Fixed the drivers side corner and door jam area. Recently bought a TIG welder so what better time to learn than now. then on to filling the gap between the roof sections, need to redo it cause i got to big of gaps but it will have good flow. Then i tried to fix more of the driver side roof but i decide to just make a new section.

Any ways heres the pictures!!

Before lowering the window opening

During

After

New corner and a pillers

Back cab wall welded and smoothed

Cab upper corner after my first atempt to fix it

New peice i made

And fitted

What do you all think

thor · 10-31-2011, 12:56 PM

Holy smokes! You've done so much work and with your skills you could've just started with a sheet of metal of sculpted your own roof.

Nice work!
