Re: my radical 60 build

here is the line out of the cuts for the cab:
once again in the rear door jamb, I am cutting around what I don't want moved.
On the corner you can see where the two different sections come out.
On the bottom cut I found the flattest part of the cab side, and then used the peak of that as the center of my 4 3/4 inch cut , so that the two pieces would line up when they came back together.
I chose one cut down the center of the back of the cab to cut down on the welding and chance of warpage.

the front was alot easier, every thing was straight and covered by sheetmetal, so I just took 6.5 out of the center of the door pillar.
You can also see where I will cut straight down the edge of the door pillar, and across the toe panel.
All I will have to do with the firewall is trim the bottom off, and fold it up to meet the floor.
