    I think they look best chopped so/until the 1/4 window is "square"...
    Same height as the width.
    Same on an A or Deuce.

    It was on season two of "Rides" on TLC Channel. It was Episode #4. I have the whole season and that car is badass.

    thanks guys, depending on what the interior measurements are i am thinking 8 or 10 from the roof and 2.5 from the header.

    i will be doing a vinyl covered top, when everything else is done the body will be repainted suede rust with pearl in it, black pleated interior with white piping and the same patern on the roof

    Yea, 'Bad News' is 10".

    I thinks looks way better with the windshield header removed completely.
