I'm an experienced car builder (hobbyist)but have never chopped a top. I have found a great website on chopping a 48 3 window, but I need to know mainly how to deal with the corner glass and the body at that point. I have 2 roofs so lengthening it is no problem.Are there any websites? I'll take any advice. Thanks, Ron.

Proffit is "that" Mr. Proffit, the '50's California customizer, or some such thing. I seem to remember reading the name in one of the old car magazines long ago... :confused: Wannabe
