After getting a late start I was able to get a lot accomplished. I cut the spot welds along the top where each piece is butted to each other and was able to get rid of the warped section on the passenger side.
I next moved on to the passenger rear quarter where I had to fab a piece for the very rear of the window section. This took more time then I thought it would but it has to be near perfect for the glass to fit right.
Next it was the section behind the window. I cut a section from another bug I have and cut and transferred it to the chop top.
I then moved on to the passenger door pillar. The section that was added at the top needs to be widened a bit to have everything line up. At this point everything is just spot welded, I'll wait to weld it all up until everything is in place.
It was off to the other side. This side took longer because is was really bad from the last person that worked on it. There was an inch difference in window size from the front of the window to the back before and I wanted them be about the same size. I was able to cut and spot weld the section I fabed in to place. I then moved on to the drivers door pillar. This took some time as well due to the fact that I need to cut and move into place two different parts. On the passenger side the medal around the window that holds the rubber lined up perfect an the drivers side not so lucky. Relief cuts are put in and then the medal is either spread apart or squeezed together to line things up.
