The body was cut and reshaped to resemble a 1927 T sedan, only larger. These
are the pictures of the chop and removal of the roof in preparation for the
fiberglass top to be made. The chop is 3 inches in the rear and 6 inches in the
front. Metal was added at the rear to square the back of the cab to resemble
the T sedan.
