  • Part 2 of the chop is setting the top down and welding it on.
    Watch to see what i mess up and see if I fix it.

    Great job 👍👍👍 like the mild chop I'm 6'3 tall and understand the idea behind keeping it a comfortable to getting in and out. Looking forward to more updates

    Right on. Kudos for just going for it. Thanks for taking the time to share this. I'm not into heavy chops. Proportionally I'm totally down with how it's turning out. Nice flow and being around alot of Mercs it all comes down to the rear window area. Digging it.

    We're u went wrong on welding the roof line is start in the middle and weld toward the edge evenly in both directions the metal going to stretch as u weld u trapped the stretch by welding toward the middle
    It's like put a phone screen cover on you got to start in the middle and work toward the edge

    I've seen body work done with wheels resting on dolly's just to keep the body aligned

    Why only 1" chop that's a whole lot of work for just an inch 🤔

      It was about the look. Slanted roof. Chopped but not too noticeable.

    First and foremost the first thing that should have been done was to remove the rear window completely!!!

      I appreciate your comment however if you watch the first video I explain why I left it in. There is a hump in the window, and if chopped to much is very evident and ugly in my opinion. The window has been in the whole time and is perfectly fine. If I do damage it I have another window.
      But thank you for you opinion
