  3. these backgl***'s are being reproduced in laminated gl*** that can be trimmed down. amazing what a inch or two does for proportions. if you lay it down like a 51 merc or chev hardtop shaving the bottom corners help retain the original belt mouldings

  6. Here is one I did chop myself,for [Luke Forsberg]-formerly a wide rear gl*** car that I chopped and used a 49 window opening to convert to the small gl*** look....

    Here is a 53 150 with a chop and lots of pics. Chop comes after the suspension .. Hope this helps..

    Does anyone know the size difference between a 150 rear window and 49-52 rear window? Are they the same width just taller or all together different? Also does size very from 4dr to 2dr on non 150 cars?

  9. I think the gl***es are both the same,memory serving -I remember there were two different roof skin lengths[coupe/sedan] though .

    Looks to me like you could do it just like a 49 to 52 coupe chop.
    Take the belt molding off and cut it at the seam leaveing about 8"s in the center connected and lay it down, thats how I did my 52 and worked out fine. I would post a pic but not at my puter now, but you can look at the build thread (new to me 52 chevy) and see it I think.

    I guess this is the difference .. Bought back gl*** was told it was 49-52 Chevy rear gl*** and bought frame from diff guy same year.. I think the gl*** is coupe gl*** and frame is sedans frame.. I guess I'll be modifying the frame ImageUploadedByTJJ1359572540.804801.jpg ImageUploadedByTJJ1359572562.004686.jpg
