Thank you, one and all, for the nice welcome. As for the question of a four-inch chop maybe being too much, when I get closer to doing the actual cut, I am going to transfer the original car height outline on to a vertical white wall. Then I will take a couple different rolls of colored tape and follow the car outline, but now with a 2-inch chop, 3-inch chop and so on. Interior headroom is going to be a huge factor in how much gets cut. If I can find non-power seats that sit 2 or 3 inches lower than stock(and are comfortable for my big ass!), my headroom will be increased quite a bit. Below is a side pic of how my car COULD look. The treatment for the rear sail is different in this pic, it is swept back to the rear top body panel.
