The reason for cutting it in half is we wanted the car to look more aggressive and have better proportions. These car are really narrow and really long, so we wedge cut the roof 2 inches and instead of leaning the A pillar or lengthening the roof we decided to shorten the car 2 inches behind the B pillar. We also stretched the wheelbase 2 inches and that will allow us the move the front wheel opening forward in the front fender 4 inches to make the overbite go away.
Here are some more pics. When we cut the inner wheelhouse out behind it we found where an unhappy assembly line worker had been. On the inside of the quarter panel they had wrote a 4 letter word in the rubber coating sprayed on there by the factory. We got the body stuck back together and the front wheel well cut out and playing around with the placement of that.
Awesome work guys!! Really love to see this era of Dart done right!
Quick question, if you rake the roof and dont lean the pillar back, what do you do with the glass, have it ground? Or do you have someone that cuts it?

Wicked work. Love it!
The guy that is doing the work on the windshield said he was just going to grind it. We are not going to be using the stock rubber so it will only need to be ground down about a 3/8.
