Now
we’re moving on to chopping the doors. When we’re done, the upper
hinge is going to be in the same proportion to the window is was from
the factory. In other words, we’re not going to cut above or
below the hinge (the easiest thing to do), but rather through it so it
remains just a “tick” above center of the window opening when done.

The upper section has been removed. |
 |
Since
we leaned the windshield posts back, we need to do the same on the
doors. Here’s the outer section has been removed to access the
inner structure.

Once
the exact location of the hinge was located, it is welded back into
the door.

Looks
like it was never messed with. You can also see where we
narrowed up the vent area of the metal. It was way too
wide once the window area was shortened.

Garnish
molding went through the same treatment. Plus the bottom section
was lengthened about an inch. A lot of work here....

|
The back window cutting is done along with welding in the upper back window section. Next we will move on to filling the roof. |
