how much does it cost.... a shit load if you get someone who knows what they are doing...
most people won't get it right so expect it to be done at least twice. unless you go to a panel shop who do real fabrication and modification on a
daily basis.

hey ovaltine. you gotta chop your roof into about eight sections. cause as you lower it to the body it needs to be widened. you ve got to section the
roof out, and the fill it to keep teh shape. is alot of work.

Another way I've seen is a sloped top where a wedge is cut out of the rear pillar then a bit more from the centre pillar then more from the
windscreen pillars then when it's all pushed down you spend the next month or so aligning it all up. When I've worked out how to post pictures I'll
put up shots of a couple from years ago, it's not as bad as it sounds. Tell me what looks better than a chopped roof other than a chopped roof
that's also been deseamed!

if you want to chop there's an article by Keith Seume
explaining "how to" with the two-roofs method.
http://youks.free.fr/forumBC/viewtopic.php?t=618
It's a lot easier than when you cut the roof in many pieces like I tried:

good luck that's all I gotta say  :thumb
