    I have no idea how I missed the thread in the beginning but oh man how I like what you did with the chop an the car. That proves that there is Too little, too much and just right on chops on those Chevies. Looks great and keep us posted on progress.

    Nice looking chop! Got a '53 in front of the shop I want to chop but never liked the idea of using a different rear window design. Have only seen a few done I like, yours and Jesse James black '54, mainly due to keeping the curved rear glass.

    Hey everyone thanks for all the responses... I got Paul Rick doing all the glass work, he said for $350 he will make me a custom lexan piece for the back. I new going into the chop i was going to have to use Lexan for the rear window and that was fine with me, i just wanted my roof to look the way i wanted in my mind. He did say that it can be done to cut a new rear glass, depending on the chop.
    Well i keep you guys posted, here's a resent pic of the car just before heading to Viva ...

    What about the wing windows? The backlite's cake compared to those!

    BTW, how far, if at all, did you get with that glass guy?
