From here my next choice was chopping the top . I decided on a 3 inch chop and was right on for the Tudor . This made it look like Henry himself had this idea .

The idea off the tape was from the great guys here . This is the all about best way to chop and have the metal line up really close with a lot less grinding to fit the top back on .

Some reinforcements was suggested from the guys here again . This was only the start of what I put in . I used conduit very cheap and easy to cut . I smashed down the ends to make welding a lot easier .



I then began to give it a little hair cut . First the tape , then some spray paint .





Then I cut it off and ground down to the paint lines . This made it so easy .





Also with the suggestions from the great guys here , they recommended using the cut pieces from the posts to line the top up and rosette weld them in to help support it .
