:wtf:

shouldn't you have chopped it first...then painted it?

either way, bad ass wagon. amazons seem to be getting more and more popular. I even have a soft spot for them as of lately
 
What amazes me is that amazons already have a pretty damn low roof... and you made it even lower.

Awesome work!
 
So are you going to lay the front windsheild down more, or extend the roof......

I want to see a choptop 122 wagon, just... one done right. So far, I think you know what your doing, but I'm kinda worried when I see Swedish Iron like that getting cut up.

No worries, its your car, and I want to see the outcome... keep us updated.

im planning to extend the roof, & keep the windshield how it is supposed to be (minus 4 inches hahaha)

the whole roof is going to be cut down the middle from front to back.

B pillar - removed the top of the post that is remaining on the roof, then move that back to lineup to it's pillar on the chassis

C pillar - cutting that section that holds the line of the quarter window & back jamb of the rear doors. then moving them back to align..

then finally, the furthest back area of the roof, after the indent of the shaped U on the roof, then finally have that be the area that gets extended towards the back, and move apart to each corner.


so that will make cutting the roof only into 4 parts, instead of cutting between each door & having 6 pieces..


ahh.. so 2 days went on, 3rd day is a sort of a break..
