yea i cut the middle from the initial bend in the front to the back with a 2 inch riser welded underneath 6 inches from the front cut to give it the shape i wanted then cut back at a slight angle to flare it out at the rear. all i added was the side sheet metal, and now i think i may add a few more inches to the rear on top and side pieces to mate it to where the bottom stops for the side pieces now it looks a little off being that far away from the windshield due the the rise shortening the length of the top compared to original. I have noticed a difference though with a little more grunt when pulling on a hill i have to downshift less and temps have dropped some according to the junk stock gauge anyway
