    Beautiful work as usual Flop! Thanks for sharing.
    You started with a really clean canvas. Looks like someone's Rod project began with the purchase of a very straight restored car?

    It's dangerous letting me look at builds like this.....I get ideas going, then I try them, then I "F" something up majorly

  5. That is the working description of hot rodding. Keep screwing it up until you finally get it right.

    In this case less is more.
    The conservative haircut was the way to go. The metal work/welding is quite impressive

    Great job as always. I'd be interested in the details of making the roof panel removable, or more crucially the attachment method!

    That's what I was wondering as well.
    My first thought was simple threaded studs welded underneath, that would slip through holes drilled into the ribs, then nuts and washers.
    It might not look super clean, but should function, depending on headroom.

    We use PEM type clinch studs for this type application in our sheet metal cabinet work.
    Probably not ideal for a painted panel (could crack the paint when tightening them) but they would be excellent for a vinyl covered one.
