    I am going to have to agree with Jkustom and say that stock gl*** looks awful. The chop on this car is great. but that back gl*** looks like ****.

    IMO i would say the stainless around the gl*** hurts this chop and also the slanted pillars dont look good on chevies

    Ill back you up all day long.........I worked as a glazier for 5 years, and did PLENTY of shop work cutting gl***. Most people dont even know what a glazier is so **** em. Anyone who can cut tempered gl*** can probably walk on water too. Learn the difference, tempered/laminated before you open your mouth.

    Here is whats up.Tempered and laminated are both forms of safety gl***. Tempered and laminated safety gl*** are two differnt things. Stock that car could have tempered rear gl*** . Most the repop gl*** is laminated. Tempered if you hit it with a hammer it will break in to little peices. Laminated has a plastic membrane in between the peices of gl*** so when it breaks big long shards of gl*** stay atached and dont cut your head off. The answer to the million dollar question. The 54 has a cut down laminated safety gl*** rear window. Scott
