I caught a couple of threads on chopping the top but does anyone know who cuts glass? The windshield and the side glass? That article on scribing the glass and burning alcohol in scribe was off the hinges insane...but doable on a scrap windshield before I'd try my LUV. That article also showed a DAtsun Truck..looked alot like ABBACAB...Anyone remember that truck from truckin mag? Funny thing though...I was told that when they chopped the top on ABBACAB, They Leaned the windshield posts back, therefore Negating having to cut the Windshield..That truck had a Nasty Chopped top. I also like that Pink Luv truck with the Porsche Alloys. That truck was severly chopped.
..I need to go to bed...I got too much truck on the brain

almost any windshield shop should be able to do it,but it's easier to cut a new windshield than a old one, chances are 50/50 you (or they) will crack your old one trying to cut it and you will have to buy a new one to chop down.
