Front bits and roof chop - 64 Toyota Stout Build

In this episode I begin by showing the process of removing the front structure and how to duplicate it using mostly a bead roller and shrinker/ stretcher. You will see how critical the patterning process is to be able to make a part that fits up like the original.

I then move onto the roof chop in the front by sectioning the A pillars 50mm. I make sure to stagger the joins for strength.

I then show a little bit of footage from cutting the glass. This was my first time and it was on an old windscreen. It ended up cracking where the glass has the most curve. It will do as a template for now and I've got a new one coming and will try again.

In the next video I'll be making a new roof from scratch. The original roof profile is weirdly proportions and a bit square in the corners so I'm going to make one that flows a bit nicer - stay tuned.
