After cutting a 5" strip out of the rear deck the whole lot will slide back leaving a gap between the front bulkhead and the dashboard. As I am going to use a mg midget windscreen the scuttle top between the bonnet and the dashboard area will have to be reformed anyway. Doing the cutting this way will let me use the kit doors as there are.

Excellent way of doing it wish I had thought of that, I have however relied on the steel side cills to support the body in one way or another as we are chopping. You are using Rover V8 ? I have not checked to distance set back for the gear stick in relation to the driving position just hoping it will be manageable, opps!
We also still intent to use the kit doors as they are, we have yet to move the front bufflehead back.
I still want to use the cut down screen but can see the logic in a windscreen I will watch your development of this with interest.
When are you planning to make the first cut!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
