Here's a quick look at it before it's finished. You can see how the rear window stays full size, and how the windshield is leaned back. The dash isn't affected so long as the pillars are relieved correctly. Getting close...

In total, the windshield is laid back 2-3/4" and the total chop is 1-3/4". In the earlier pictures the windshield wasn't fully laid back yet. Here's the final height.



Once the welding and cutting started to happen, it was apparent that some more rust repair needed to be done. Since that was happening anyhow, Justin decided to take out the hard edge and smooth it out a bit.

Here's some more pictures.

Here's a few good shots of the improved transition. The corners will be reshaped along with the doors to follow the new body line.

Here's a few more for today.

The doors are being fitted as well as a quick mock up of the front sheet metal. The metal work on the fenders placed the core support a little too far back, so we'll fix that and it should be good to start raising the wheel wells a bit.

I really like the core support. It mocked up really nice and will give the truck a clean look.
