Discussion
When the windshield and rear window are angled on the car receiving the chop, the roof must be lengthened, or, the cowl posts must be filed towards the rear, the backlight, below rear window must be filed forward...
another method is just luck... if someone else casts the same make and model but in a slightly larger scale that roof would be longer...
example ; Matchbox '34 3 window coupe's roof and HW '34 3 window's body...
never tried it... but I know the MB is bigger ...use the added length and sand the roof sides to width...

That 32+2 is great. Trying to visualize a chopped top or t-tops?
