New guy
Hello
My name is Mathias and I'm living in Sweden. I love tools (don't we all) and have built and collected some over the years. So now then I got the tools I got to learn how to use them... Right now I have a Dodge -55 with a chopped top. thats how I started learning the english wheel.... not the best way, I know, but I needed a new top so the only option I had was to make a new one. Cheers Mathias

Thank you guys
First go at up loading pictures.. Lets see if I got it right... The pic is suppose to be my dodge, it is chopped about 2" but I did also make it about 1" wider to to keep the door post to lean as they do originaly. The rear window is new, it is originaly a panorama window back there but to make it to blend in better with the new top I made a new smaller window.

That is a nice top, looks a little lumpy though and I am not sure the pink goes with the blue. But the scarifices we all make.
 It looks like the top on the car came out well. I really like the looks of the rear window. Nice job.Rondo

Yes I know, I would have prefferd the pink top off, but you can't have it all...
I'm pretty pleased with the rear window myself, because it is, besides the top, among the first parts I do not using the bend, cut and weld method. And I belive it has every sorts of shape a car has in it. Mathias
