    Hello all, I'm new to the hamb and I've been following some of the builds and advice, and you guys seem to be the experts!
    I'm looking to chop the top.. Slightly.. On my business coupe and hoping for a simpler windshield solution than trying to get the factory size cut down.
    I've read online (just Google search) that the fleetline windshields are slightly smaller than the styleline windshields..
    Would it make sense to order the fleetline windshield and chop the styleline to fit it? How much smaller is the fleetline glass?

    Or, is there another factory option that I can slightly modify the opening to accept?

    Any help would be greatly appreciated, thank you!

    Hardtop/convert w/s is one size shorter than the fastback. Don't forget the '50 Olds 88 1 piece glass fits.
