      Here's the
        uncut roof, everything fitting pretty well.  George decided we
        should take an inch out of the height - enough to look a little better
        than stock, not enough to be obvious why.

      First the wood was removed around the window
      areas.  We only cut through the wood on the quarter windows - the
      back window we can take apart and shorten (as to not have any cuts) and
      the B pillars will also be shortened at the top.

      Taking 
      an even inch is pretty easy to mark off - 1" masking tape does the
      job real well.

     The top is removed.  Notice the B pillar
     wood - we can now cut 1" off of the top and when we reinstall the
     roof, the wood will remain one piece.

     The roof is back down and welded.  At
     this point the right rear quarter window area is metal finished.

     Here's a shot of the left rear quarter area -
     everything has been ground, hammered and sanded.

     Here's the 1" difference. The door on the
     left has not yet been cut.  We're not taking much, but the overall
     look of the car will just be a little nicer.

     We're starting to add the wood back in the
     car.  The quarter window wood is the only wood that was cut. 
     This area is really for the upholstery - not for structural support.

     The top is done.  Now on to the garnish
     moldings…
