Plymouth. . .


We can see here that Dylan has tack-welded some bracing into the rear window frame so that it will keep its original shape when it is cut from the body of the Plymouth, the first cuts can be seen surrounding the window. This window has to be kept in shape because it is going to be 'layed' forward during the roof chop instead of having a section removed because of the window's difficult shape that bends/bows in two directions. . .

Dylan in the process of welding in some internal bracing so that the body maintains its integrity during the time that the roof is removed. . .

A quick look inside before Dylan starts the bracing and we can see that the internal skins from the rear doors have been shortened and welded into place. These skins are necessary for the interior to maintain shape and for hanging the trimming off. . .
