Yes but notice he did put out an orange cone and there is no paint so it could have burnt there. You never know. LOL

Looking badass Marz. You are an inspiration to get started back up on my truck.

Yup i just want to get that last set of freeze plugs changed and get my new rad. then it'll be somewhat driveable still need to find the kickdown for the c4/302 combo.

If mine is ever half as good as yours or keiths or evenm trevors(CACWBYs') i'l be happy.

Marz, what you are doing is incredible. It sure makes a difference having a place to do all that work I'll bet. Keep the pics comin'.

I must say i have never been a huge fan of the bagged pickups, but i love your pickup! Its a work of art! I do most of my own body work and welding, and the work that you do is simply amazing. If you ever want to sell it, let me know, it would look excellent parked in my drivway next to my short bed on 35's! Lol, keep up the excellent work, its making me want to start on another one!

Hey triple "c" that was a little harsh....but yea why you not done yet . "There'll be plenty of time to sleep when your dead." not exactly what Sam Elliot said in Roadhouse but you get the just of it.

i am guess its cut into more then 10 pieces. also hes planing on laying the windsheild back. well lets just say its going to take alot longer to put back together then it was to cut up.

Finally some new pics of the progress, i've been so busy trying to get a small business started that I haven't had time to post my progress.
Here are the pictures.

Before cutting anything I made some measurements from top of the cab to the cab floor so that when I start putting it all back together I can make sure that only 3" where taken out.
This one is right above the steering wheel on the drip rail

This one is on the back of the cab pessenger side.

Here are some pie cuts that need to get done to be able to lay back the front glass.

Almost there! just a little bit more triming to go.

Looks Yummy!

That looks good. I like the laying the glass down. it doesn't make it scream "I have a chop top!"

Keep the pictures coming!

Marz, that truck is looking good!!!!

IÃ¢â‚¬â„¢m not a fan of the chop tops but yours looks just right,

with the truck lowered and the way you did the chop everything looks proportional.

You got a good eye and vision, looking forward to when you get it all done.
Nice Job

i like it marz, it doesnt really even look chopped! i bet someone that hasn't seen one before wouldn't look twice at it being a chop. That in my opinion is how it should be! I do like the radical chops though and if I ever do my truck, i may go an inch farther than you have.
