Just wanted to share the good new. We started this project 16 months ago, and were determined to have it finished for my buddies wedding last weekend. We did our first test drive 24 hours before the wedding and I finally went in and put on my tux 65 minutes before the ceremony started. I was trying to get it done for EOS but was a week late. I have lots a pics on my website url="http:www.ualberta.ca/~jjacobs/roofchop/roofchop2.htm"]roofchop[/url]. A big shout out to the guys at Basco and Westside for the advice. Although it is on the road, it is far from done. Here are a few pics (that is me on the left, the groom on the right).
