49 F1 TopChop
This week we started on chopping the top of our future shoptruck...
It was our first try, so it took some time to put the saw into the metal....
After days of measuring, thinking and taping the moment was there...
To have an idea about the chop height, we first chopped the doors..
2¾" (7cm) should do the job...both Susie and me aren't such small persons, so I guess this is the limit..
