chop8 Front guide bar. Center of roof and center of cowl top are located and marked with Sharpie. Piece of metal is tacked on the cowl at this point with the top edge of the piece running along the center line of the roof. This piece of steel is braced up so it doesn't move. Top is not welded to roof so roof can drop down. The metal piece serves as a center reference for roof alignment when it's lowered after chop

chop5 bottom point of drip rail is used as a measuring starting point on both sides. Put tape measure on edge and pull to lower cut lines on door and A piller. Measure up 4 inches from each of those bottom lines. Wrap sharpie line with a piece of cardboard for accurate marking around post and piller...then tape.
