Nice haha I wanna see it finished

 

That makes two of us lol thanks man

 

I've always wanted to do a chop top... but I never could bare to chop up a perfectly fine XJ.

I guess now I have motivation to roll mine

 

Haha I always used to want to before I rolled it but didn't want to ruin something that was good!! so I feel ya there lol but just make sure you're going reallllll slow when ya roll it

 

Well just read the whole build and it's looking good. Really good actually. I'm jealous of your welding and fab skills. I just rolled mine Monday morn so I was cruisin the forum for chop top inspiration and what better thread to read then project flipper lol. I will continue following for sure. Oh and the taillights are coming along nicely.

 

Dam dude how'd you roll yours?! And thanks for the kind words, I just try and see what works and I don't like it I start again. Are you thinkin your gonna chop it? or just pondering it right now?

 

Oh I'm chopping it for sure now I've always wanted too just haven't had an excuse. But I slipped and fell off a side hill into about a 10 ft ditch lol. But quick question, did you have to use any special tools to straighten your windshield frame back out? As mines crushed in a bit on the top two corners. I just planned on beating it with a hammer. You have any better advice?

 

Oh man that's a big drop!! Glad you're alright! And that's all I used on mine is some sledge hammers and pieces of wood like some 2x4's and stuff, with the exception of one tool. I tried using what is called a spitzanagel but I'm not very good at it so I just stayed with the hammers

 

Alright awesome I'll just be beating it then. It was big drop luckily I was going slow. Thanks for the help man!

 

Do you have pictures of where you dropped from and what your rig looks like?

 

Bought 4 of these lights the other day, and this is just one of them!! check out how it lights up the end of the building that is about 100 yards away

Did I mention I got them for only 6.50 a piece?

 

It's my avatar, the picture doesn't do a justice of how deep and steep it was. The grass was about 3ft tall and the ditch was almost straight up and down. But I took my seats out and used a jack and some 2x4's to get the windshield frame straight. Worked really good. You get your tail lights done yet? I want too see them!

 

Man you gotta start a thread!! I want to see all your progress!! And no cause I've been working on getting it driveable again. I finally bled the slave cylinder today and drove it home before I had to come to work today

 

I've thought about it but being in high school my build has been painfully slow lol. But I got top cut off last night, what did you do with the bundle of wires going to your rear hatch? I have no idea what too with them. There's so many!
