Jason,

I think you have a lot of welding and grinding to do!
I also think it will look GREAT! Stay calm and do one
weld at a time.

bo huff chop

I've seen a few of BO's chops. some have a different rear roof line. one of the guys doing a chop at school had a lot of trouble getting the rear window area right. he ended up making larger new filler panels. less welding than with all the cutting and reshaping.
