Small slant chop is actually pretty cool though! Although I'd prefer to see the back come down too - not sure that it is THAT much more work even if you need to extend the roof. On roof chops it's the small details that take time and are most frustrating.
Are you using MIG?

Lol dude, you've been thinking on getting every type of aircooled so far. just go out and find something you can handle and let the bug bite.
Good work Vuyo. Keep the pix coming.

CAUTION CAUTION CAUTION
Please brace the whole body especially the door openings Doing a slant job means that you alter the angle of the windshield by pulling th windshield posts back and bending others forward this is enought to distort the door openings.
