Unbelievable, as always. You don't need me to tell you you have some increadable talent.
I am guessing your keeping the rear glass the same size? Or is that to make room for the '75 glass?

The '75 glass is to big it's the same size as the opening you see now and the roof has not been chopped yet, I will have to stick with the stock one.71 LONG BED wrote:Unbelievable, as always. You don't need me to tell you you have some increadable talent.

Marz, If you don't knock it off, you're gonna make me buy a plane ticket and come out there and shake your hand. I love your truck more and more each day. Awesome, just awesome.
Btw, my wife is going to kill you when she finds out I'm now contemplating chopping mine. LOL

Wow, when you get done I have a feeling you will be seeing a lot of magazines doing some coverage.

Re: re: chop top has begun for "el diablo"
So did you remove the whole frame, to reweld in after the top has been chopped, to retain the stock glass size?marz68 wrote:The '75 glass is to big it's the same size as the opening you see now and the roof has not been chopped yet, I will have to stick with the stock one.71 LONG BED wrote:Unbelievable, as always.

yeah the frame will be welded back in when it's all done but instead of the dent look it will all be smooth.71 LONG BED wrote:So did you remove the whole frame, to reweld in after the top has been chopped, to retain the stock glass size?marz68 wrote:The '75 glass is to big it's the same size as the opening you see now and the roof has not been chopped yet, I will have to stick with the stock one.71 LONG BED wrote:Unbelievable, as always.
