    My 56 f100 was cut with a grinder, I didn't do it, but was told it was no big deal

    Let us know how it works out. I may try cutting my own when I chop mine.

    give street rods by michael in shelbyville a call. I'm sure he doesn't do it but he's been in the business for quite a while and he may know someone that can cut your glass.

    If it's so easy and fool proof, then why is it so hard to find someone to do it?

    It's not an easy job, but not that bad either. I looked everywhere around my area for someone to cut mine. They all said they would try, but I buy all the glass if it breaks. Guys don't want to do curved glass. I contacted Bob's Classic Auto Glass in oregon info on here. He is a Great guy. Told me about a cutoff blade (diamond) and how to cut it. Son and I did it in about a half hour. The trick is slow pass cuts and don,t let it get hot. My son was the water man constant water on the cut. Try an old glass 1st You use an air cutoff tool. I'll look for the blade and get you company info. Had a glass guy sand edges and install. Wolfman
