the rocker boxes aren't reproduced, so you will want to brace the rocker area after you cut the roof. My 77 was cut, and it had a little flex that was noticible while driving. I used the caps as a guide to cut the doors, that was pretty easy. The truck was already done when I bought it, I was just going to hang new sheetmetal on it. Other than that, cut the top, section in the windshield pillar, and you are in business.
