I'll look for it. Sounds like just what I need. Funny thing is I used to routinely cut up other people's cars (and my own) without hesitation. Years ago I had a custom shop in Arlington, Texas, and I did LOTS of mild custom stuff like targa roofs and convertibles on trucks... and I was one of the pioneers of the bed cut-- both the pass through for stereo, etc., and the "what do you mean there's not enough rear axle clearance? We can poke the frame notch through the bed!" But these days, me being a prissy engineer-type, I get nervous at the prospect of actually hacking the roof of my own vehicle. (Actually cutting it off would be fun. It's getting it lined back up and put back on that is the scary part.)
Thanks for the book tip,
