    If you chop 3 1/2 or less you can sink the corners of rear glass in the trunk & package tray. I wanted more chop and it would be to much stress on the rear glass. I would of loved to keep the rear wrap around window. Give it that moon glow look. Maybe the next one.

    When you do it, take a lot of pictures...I plan/hope to do mine with the stock rear glass in the future.

    Maybe you can get the "old guy" with glass skill to help us out just a little. Very nice chop, great lines.
