I’ve never chopped the top on a car or truck. I want to, but I just haven’t yet. I’ve seen it done in videos and understand what needs to happen, but I also know that depending on how you do it the results can vary dramatically. The look and feel you are going for matter a lot, as does your plan for window glass and such. If you are prepared to completely move around the roof, pillars, etc then the exercise is completely different than if you are going to keep the stock attachment points in place. In other words, the more outrageous the custom the less complicated it can be. Not always, but sometimes.

Here are a couple of cool videos from Rat Rod Rob Builds showing him working on the roof height of his cool Rat Rod henry J. I kinda dig a good Henry J, so I’m interested in seeing just how this project ends up when done. Sure, it’s only a body and some wheels right now but you and I both know this thing could end up epic if he rolls with it just the right way. Lets see. Rob’s methods are a little rough, but it’s part of his charm. Watch.
