Cut first and ask questions later..
kidding..
go to Volksrod.com and just look around..
Use the "SEARCH" funtion and you will find more info there than you have time to read... Don't join up and hit them with that question first
up,(like you did here ) they'll FLAME you..!!!
In short there are several different ways to do it, all are explained in there, all are difficult and be warned, they say the VW Beetle roof is one of
the Hardest to chop...
Good luck...
I hate to admit it, but man, I think you're right....

you need two rood sections, a good mig welder and a lot of patience and measuring. Try this site as a place to start...
