Aight, here is the passenger door complete. The gap in the photo of the top of the door looks bad, but in person, it's a great fit. If you look at the picture of the inside, you can see the gap is good.

Today i worked on the drivers side door. This one was a little tougher to do since it appears i cut on the wrong side of the tape with one cut, so i ended up with a 1/2" gap from the bottom of the door to the window frame. I used some some 22 gauge steel as a backing plate, drilled a couple holes and welded the backing plate to the inside of the window channel.....after several tacking and grinding events to get the right alignment...I think i ended up with a pretty decent door chop.

Chopping of the top is complete
Woohoo, as of today i am done with all of the welding and fabrication work on my top chop. There are still little things i have to do to truly finish it up, like grinding and sanding, but the main work is done...........I am so freakin excited, i can't believe how well it turned out.

I have had a great time doing this and everyone in this thread has been so damn helpful. I had doubts that i could pull off a top chop, but thanks to the positive attitude everyone showed me here, it is complete and i am so freakin excited. I too think it's cool that i am now considered an actual hotrodder, i love it. There hasn't been one part on this build that i had to have someone else do either, everything from the c-notch of the frame, building my box, setting up my front end correctly and of course, chopping the top........thanks a bunch to hotrodders.com and the great guys here.
