In this episode, I deconstruct the roof and rear wall pieces and commence the roof chop and cab extension.
I ended up chopping it below the window, this was the window will stay proportionate.
When the roof is chopped, the top piece moves downward and the B pillar pieces need moving outwards at the base to line back up with the outside of the body. This creates a wedge of blank space which needs filling. Instead of filling the gap, I made some new upper a pillars and whilst doing so, I deleted the rain gutters, extended it 60mm, added a swage line and rounded the edge of the door opening off.
Whilst removing the rain gutters, I added a little subtle lip to the back of the cab above the rear window. To take away a bit of guesswork, I drew the back of the cab to scale on the computer and then printed the template. The technology is there so why not use it.
I also made quite a few new pieces to replace rust/ save plugging up spot weld holes. the lower corners were remade as they fell short after the body drop and body section.

In the next video I'll be filling in the back of the floor after the cab extension. Cheers for watching!
