Thanks Mark!
I do have a Westy Top cut off at the posts to start with.
I drilled out the perimeter rivets
and now I'm going "what Now"???
I don't know if I need to keep a lot of the body underneath
the top sheet metal or not?
Looks like this gentleman
"just" used the Westy "Hole",
and surounding few inches,
to weld into the Pass/bus top?
But I really cant tell exactly what the procedure is.
And if He only cut the front hole
Or if he cut out the "whole" length of the pass/bus top?
Thanks,
John C...
