if you're working with a 2 door post buy a 56 hardtop/convertable windshield and get the first two inches of your chop free. if you want more than that cut the glass first then fit the body to that.
you won't end up with a chopped car and no glass that way http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif

I've seen a 55 or 56 Ford where the windshield and rear window were sunken into the body to avoid having to cut the glass. I don't have any pictures of it though.

thanks guys, yeah, i was planning on working around the windshield. i just havent seen many pictures of what people have done in the rear, i was planning on leaning the rear glass foward, and sinking the front corners. more pictures would be awesome, doesnt seem like all that many people chop these. thanks again

Like this one? Swedish stuff!
Build by Micke Öhman, the same guy that built the 48 Chev on the cover of Lead News #27. And both of them began as rusted out four doors!
