Chopping a roof sounds like a simple enough job, right? As it turns out, it’s a lot more than just cutting out sections of the pillars and then reattaching the roof to the rest of the car.
This time-lapse shows the extensive work that goes into giving this ’37 Ford a 3-inch chop.

Thanks for posting, chopping the roof on later 1930s cars can be real involved since they have so many curves.
This is a 20 part series from Bobby Walden's Speed Shop on chopping the roof on a 1932 three window coupe. They're a little more straightforward since the roof pillars are more upright, but it's still an involved process. It's worthwhile watching and goes into every little detail, he's real craftsman. https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLr_qWzTxOmB6b8ftcXTfKooTmBPm7LKyD

I miss doing these, but I never got that deep. We always took the easy way.

Certainly is a well equipped shop.
