There is something wrong with me. The first thing I saw was the battery backup LIFTMASTER and the 3 section VANTAGE garage door. Been doin that way to long.

Nice chop, but man somebody sure knuckle bumped that roof up. lol

Very nice, neat, and professional work. Hat's off to you. perley

Very nice work..I've never done a chop, but plan on my first this winter..is the piece you have clico'd in place under the original roof going to stay or is that just for fitment? I was thinking about doing something something similiar with a strip of aluminum for a backer so I could weld from the top and not stick to the aluminum, ya know to help fill in the gaps

thanks,
Tim

What's up with the crazy shaped relief cuts in the rear corners?

cornfield customs · Oct 14, 2011

Tim the piece clecod in is there for fitment. Be care full if you use aluminum to back it it can still stick and then will be a pain to get off.

Flipper I curl my relief cuts in the corners because it helps to expand or shining the entire corner with no bumps or anything

Tim...Ok · Oct 14, 2011

pretty much every night i walk past my truck and want to go grab the sawzall and get to work, but then I chicken out.
