Don't forget the the roof has to be quartered and be made wider and longer too.

Have a look on this project thread, the guy has more or less finished a roof chop and it looks pretty sweet

Or if you're planning on removing the roof completely (like me ) check this out: (near the bottom of the page)

These are mine and John Hastons MiniSprints that I built (only did the shell for John, not the rest of the car).





The roof chops were easy, I lowered the roof on the centre B pillares then made new A and C pillars from scratch. This enabled me to rake the screens instead of quartering the roof.

[Paul Wiginton]
