operation chop top

so i went through the garage this morning on my way to work at 4:30 am and decided to play hookie and chop the top on my rzr. since my new Kirkey seat install last weekend i had 7" too much of roof heigth, and my car looked like a beach ball.

here is some progress from this morning. i hope to have it finished today except for the rear bumper which i have not made up my mind on style yet.

Looks cool Mike. Are you concerned with visibility going downhill?

you might have to have a "dune" roof without it rolling down -visor- so you can get some more visablity on the hills

yeah i cut the uppr windshield bar out and will not have my roof roll down the A pillar.

i squuzed my fat ass through the window earlier it was not too bad. but i am going with a flip up panel on the roof to get out. it will work out perfect i already have a v support on the roof and i can step on the fire wall framming to get out.

I saw Mike's work on the Polasaki on Thursday when I was down there and he has done an awesome job.
