The first cut wasn't the hardest(chop pics)

I think the next ones are.Move the posts in or stretch the top.The door tops did always hit the cab

 

Cool, I like that vintage of chevy chopped. What's the plan for the corner gl***?

 

going to try duct tape and a sandblaster. we'll see

 

I could be wrong, but I'm pretty sure the're tempered.

 

Worse yet, I belive they are a material very similar to Pyrex! You know, that stuff they make those gl*** measuring cups from that withstand extreeme heat and such. I am sure jerry will chime in and let us all know.

Good luck!

 

lookin good, i kinda lost track of the last post. do any one post any pix or information about sinking the quarter windows?

thats how ive seenit done when it comes to five windows. i supose if it came down to it even looking at info about sinking windsheilds would work. i cant imagine it being all that complicated.

...that being said good luck its looking sharp!

 

CAN'T be cut-save yourself trouble -just cut the bottom from the corner windows openings metal out and make a support below there and mount the stock uncut curved gl***es in the smaller hole-mount the gasket around the top and sides and cut and glue the bottom of a SPLIT gasket with blak urethane to complete the look.

 

I know for a fact the wraparound windows are tempered.I am not sure what will happen if you try to sandblast them.I've cut laminated with a blaster and sugar sand and it works great ,but I have heard that tempered will explode if you try to blast it.I havent had the balls to try it.Good luck,keep a broom and dustpan handy...

 

I may just sink them in. Iv'e cut laminated with the sand blaster but didn't know your coudn't do tempered.Thats why im here though.heres a few more pics

 

The corner gl*** is re-poped in laminated, should be easy to cut!..........OLDBEET

 

a buddy of mine sandblasted a rear window that was tempered. he said it was going good and then it exploded.

 

Shure is and tinted to boot.Thanks OLDBEET i didn't even think of that.Ill post more progress pics when i can.

 

And if all else fails,,,,turn the truck into a 3-window cab! HRP

 

Or a rodester

How do you cut the windshield? I am chopping the top of my 1998 Dodge Dakota (I know it is not a cl***ic but it is the only Dakota known to be chopped) Also I have been told that you can cut tempered gl*** but I am not sure how. I think you grind it under water or something like that.Any help would be greatly apreciated

 

Don't do that it would be like sitting in the bath tub with a toaster...

 

Yeah it sounds risky to me too thats why I havent tried it plus how do you grind under water anyway? I think it means you just use an air grinder and run water over the surface

 

Tempered gl*** cannot be cut.

 

Well mines flat so i just had new ones cut.As for tempered everyone says don't so i didn't but isn't that a laminated windshield?

 

AMAN!!!!!...............OLDBEET

 

Lookin good

 

Found out the repoped cab corner gl*** is tempered also.Looks like im sinking them
