I had to back up in an effort to go forward. Originally I was going to leave the top alone, but I decided to ignore my moral compass about cutting up this heirloom, and opted to make it more of what I wanted.

After photochopping 4", I decided to go with a 2" chop, and left the rear window original.

Subtle change, I think it should look nice. I still have to do the A pillars as well as cut the doors, then its break out the welder.
