Here's the
uncut roof, everything fitting pretty well. George decided we
should take an inch out of the height - enough to look a little better
than stock, not enough to be obvious why.
|
|
First the wood was removed around the window
areas. We only cut through the wood on the quarter windows - the
back window we can take apart and shorten (as to not have any cuts) and
the B pillars will also be shortened at the top.
|
|
Taking
an even inch is pretty easy to mark off - 1" masking tape does the
job real well.
|
|
The top is removed. Notice the B pillar
wood - we can now cut 1" off of the top and when we reinstall the
roof, the wood will remain one piece.
|
|
The roof is back down and welded. At
this point the right rear quarter window area is metal finished.
|
|
Here's a shot of the left rear quarter area -
everything has been ground, hammered and sanded.
|
|
Here's the 1" difference. The door on the
left has not yet been cut. We're not taking much, but the overall
look of the car will just be a little nicer.
|
|
We're starting to add the wood back in the
car. The quarter window wood is the only wood that was cut.
This area is really for the upholstery - not for structural support.
|
|
The top is done. Now on to the garnish
moldings…
