    My buddy has a 49 or 50 chevy fastback with a heavy chop. He says it has a different windshield than coupes,sedans etc. Is it just taller ?? And since he broke it and I need to cut a new drivers side...does anybody have an extra layin around??? (yes he wants to keep the divider!)

    I'd probably just go to a gl*** shop and buy a piece of flat safety gl***,.....use the old gl*** for a pattern,...... cut it,......and install. Unless you just want an old piece of gl*** rather than new. Stu

    The fleetline windshield is about an inch shorter than the sedan windshield, Im pretty sure everything else is the same.

    You could ask Bob from Bobs Cl***ic Auto Gl***, He's a HAMBer and sold me a 1 pc for my fleetline.

    pontiac,olds and chevy share gl***. the one piece w/s comes from a olds,if your cutting it wouldn,t have to come from a fastback.

    from what i understand, sedan gl*** should work for a chopped car.
    the previous owner of my fleetline said he cut down a sedan windshield to fit because he couldn't find a fleetline screen.

    Just take a little off the top!
    The slopey windshield is shorter like convertible windshield.
