This is where I should probably write a legal disclosure. I am a trained "professional". Please do not attempt to recreate or reinact anything I say or do. Doing so could cause bodily harm and possibly your pride...

So I prepped the panels last night for cutting and welding. Went ahead and stripped all the bs out of the top shell. I'll probably have roof on and off 4 times or so for fitment check. I'm working by myself so I'll have to get creative. You can see the width is the same height is the same and the body line lines up. I'll be using 1" painters tape to mark my cut below the body line. And a .040 6" cutoff wheel to make the cut. I'll have more updates tonight hopefully

Have you thought about using El Camino door glass and tilting the B pillar forward? I think it would make the rear window look better. Just my $.02
