[QUOTE="Gadget Boy, post: 251118, member: 180"] Can I, as someone who's actually done this give you a bit of advice. The roof and sub structure and the pillars are made up of many different panels not just the ones you see ,these are to add strength to the roof and chassis. There is an inner pillar on all the A/B/C/D pillars and these need to be welded also before the outer panels are welded . Also it is far safer and stronger to replicate the factory seems and spot welds at proper factory panel joining points that just cut up and down the pillars at will . Im not trying to piss on your chips , Just warn you that in an accident its better to have the vehicle to factory strength than odd cuts here and there possibly weaking the substructure of the bus I hope this helps Gadget ;) [/QUOTE]
