I get my hacsaw ,air saw, wizzer wheels from snap on they last the longist as far as measuring always find a good refrence point such as post seams and use masking tape to mark your cuts (post)all the way around and the same on door frames. Don't forget to check your measurement's (measure twice cut wonce). Plan on 3 roof's project and 2 donors and a pair of extra door frames because of the chop the roof and window frames get longer.When you cut the roof off the project van the roof and top section of the quater's you will use one side and a donor for the other side BECAUSE it gets wider.By using to roof's you can cut them so you only have one seam to weld on the rear section of the roof back to front.PS starting in the rear of the van working foward because the door openings get longer here's were the donor roof's are used to make one seam rather than putting in a piece to make up the difference. It's musch easier to do it than 1 finger typing explaining (harder) | | | Re: How To Chop Vans Roof. | Joined: Feb 2011 Posts: 20 stranger | stranger Joined: Feb 2011 Posts: 20 | the chop is under way now.. got some pictures posted....

It's hard to tell, did you leave the roof whole or is it spliced? | | | Re: How To Chop Vans Roof. | Joined: Jun 2009 Posts: 3,565 pooh-bah | pooh-bah Joined: Jun 2009 Posts: 3,565 | Its whole ken. It doesn't match up to anything yet....
I like that amount of chop. It looks great!
