My 1934 ford sedan project has about a 2 1/2 inch chop. I ordered a complete set of stock height gl*** kit. Can any reputable gl*** shop cut down my front and back gl***? I'm I going to need to make patterns for them to follow? I have no idea how to proceed.
If it is safety gl*** (laminated) a good gl*** man should be able to cut it. Yes, it would be best to make a pattern.
If you have the stock height gl***, make a cardboard pattern from it. Cut the cardboard horizontally across the middle and overlap it by 2 1/2". Check the fit in your frame and in the window openings to make sure it is correct.
When I chopped my 47 ford coupe I just ordered all new flat safety gl*** cut to the templates I had made and provided. Was not that expensive really and had a local gl*** shop do it.
gl*** is the one thing i didnt want to mess with on my coupe. check out gl*** guy chicago . super good dude to deal with . might be a lengthy road trip from ohio , but it would be well worth the drive. https://www.facebook.com/Gl***GuyChicago/ https://www.instagram.com/gl***_guy_chicago/
