    the trick to a 4-door converson chop is to stretch the whole top. cut the top horizonially from door to door. i cut my top in half and stretched it 4 inches

    Well thought out look. My compliments. It takes a lot of work to get that kind of profile. I also love the 53 grille teeth. Keep us posted.

    Did you end up having to stretch the roof? I've seen a few GM 2 door posts with severe chops, but the roof line never quite flowed and most turn out to have a flat spot. Yours has a nice smooth flow.

    Damn was I the only one to pick up on this?? Where did you water jet the gl***....was it a 5 axis type machine? Did it come out clean or did you have to polish the edges after?

    i lucked out on the water jet. theres a place about 5 miles from my house that does this. the guy can cut though steel 8 inches thick. he said the pressure is at about 80,000 pounds it the tip and the only chance the gl*** will break will be if he drops it! as for the edge after cutting there is a little fogging but my rubber coverd that up. as far cutting gl*** this is the way to go. he only charged me $50.00 bucks

    Perfectly gorgeous. Absolutely spot on design and proportions, one of the best ones I've ever seen.

    You did good son.
