A-pillars
Hey Marz.... Looking Good!!! What Did You End Up Doing With Your A-pillars? Did You Heat And Move? And Will You Be Able To Re-use Your Windshield Accept For Shortening It Because It Looks Like Your Roof Didnt Have Any Mod To It. Are You Gonna Have To Re-inforce Where Your Back Window Will Now Sit? You Really Know How To Make Someone Jealous!!!

The pillars were pie cut and were bent back to match with the roof.In the picture you will see were the cuts were done.
The glass will be cut down to size by a professional glass guy. I think that once I weld in the frame for the back glass it should re-inforce the back of the cab.

i think chopping the top is the most hideous and worst thing you can do to a truck. its a truck not an el camino. same thing with shaved door handles, huge wheels and the old english graphics across the top of the windshield that say "el loco essay"

That is some very fine fabrication work on the chop!!! Sure is good to see a young guy carrying on some of the fine old hot rod traditions!!!! Congrats on a very nicely done job and keep up the high quality work!!! The truck is going to be a very fine ride when you are done if you maintain that high quality of work throughout the build!!!!

Just my 2 cents, but I think these truck need some serious mods to make them look good. Keep up the work Marz. I've cut the hood up, filled up the cowl vents, filled the dash. Its all good. I want to see someone remove the bumps on the side. Ya!
