    I’m looking for information and mostly pictures of the modifications people have made to their rear window regulator on chopped cars with slanted B-pillars (preferably shoebox fords). Thanks in advance for any help you guys can offer.

    I don’t think you will need a modification if the glass below the door belt line.... is still running in the vertical channels fore and aft. Usually there is still 4 to Six inches below the belt line when window is up.

    The glass will have to go back as it goes down. I would just find a car that has a factory forward angled B-pillar and pull the regulator(s). Sometime those windows will rotate as they travel up and down.

    I know I’ve seen a post in the past where someone angled their factory regulator in a shoebox....but unfortunately I don’t seem to be able to locate it.
