I wish I could pull something like that off but to answer your question..... No, I did not section the roof. Actually I think it's the only body panel that I've left alone. Good luck if you go ahead and try your's. I think Denny was trying some misdirection.
I'm actually thinking of taking 3/4 of an inch out of the a pillar and a pie cut out of the c pillar to get the roof level when she's on the ground But if I'm cutting it I might as well chop the whole thing 3"
