OK, so its not Mopar related, but thought I would post a link to my mates 1st roof chop.

Never to do things by half, so thought he would try it out on his old Steel 32 5 Window.

Just got to convince him now to do his steel 32 3 Window

Check out Ford's answer to the body cracking!

Fair play doing it the old fashioned way.

No fibre body shell here, just good old fashioned skills. And a dodgy old S & J hacksaw! Well done getting a straight line with that.

Impressive stuff.

Hack saw is fine, you can get a nice straight cut & also it's controllable. Helped that the inside was still wooded out, so it supported the shell while cutting (didn't pinch the blade)

Ah! Thought it may have been braced to stop it pinching, but that explains it.

Good skills and definitely big kahoona's to make a first attempt on something so cool.

Interesting to see all the bracing that goes into it once the roof comes off.

It doesn't look it!

Looks a nightmare to get straight!
