I took 1” out of the roof and 2” out of the center of the car

 

Dandy!

Beautiful - and different too.

 

Thank you

 

So you took 1" out of the roof crown, without chopping it. Very cool, love the section.

 

Great work and pictures. I assume your wife approves?

I brought the roof skin down and forward 1 inch I didn’t change the crown , as well as I cut windshield opening down 1” .I still have to chop the windshield moldings and glass down to now match , so it’s kinda a chop and kinda not

 

She loves it . She’s impatiently waiting for it to be finished so she can drive it

 

That’s good to hear. Just remember, rule number one in life is never make a woman angry.

Thank you

 

Any new progress to this elegant build?

Question: what was done to the roof? The front window frame was lowered by 1". Was the rear roof skin cut by the sides and then pushed down by an inch to reduce the hight of the top skin?

 

Subscribed. Especially since I'm getting ready to do this car's twin. A buddy has been trying to talk me into doing a crown chop. This shows me a lot more of how it would look and how it might be done.

 

I think he did a crown chop on the dodge coupe he is working on, sure would like to see the whole process someday........

 

Not to be dumb, but now that the headlights have been removed, where will you hide them? Sorry if I missed it....

 

He'll be cutting in hidden headlights, as per the original concept car.

 

Here are shots of the Y Job with headlights closed and opened.

 

Ok, gotcha. Not familiar with the concept car. Thanks.

 

Hopefully, more info will follow.
In the mean time, here is a link to a Merc which received a nicely de-crowned roof.

Shit.......now I get it, I think a chop with de-crowning would make it too flat like a 80s sedan roof.
Thank you 'Mo.
