That looks to be a pretty radical chop, I hope the owner isn’t too tall. Are you going to sink the windshield into the cowel or cut it ? If you’re cutting it down do you use the sand blast method or masonry saws or have you found someone that’s good at cutting curved glass or ??? I know I’m getting a little ahead with these glass questions but with anything with curved glass you have to think like that before you even start cutting. Curved tempered glass is even a far worse problem. ~ John Buchtenkirch

Sinking the windshield causes way to many issues especially on a chop like this. We will be sending it to our local glass guy at Brown & Randall. He takes a couple of old unusable windshields, makes practice cuts on them untill he is comfortable with the process. I believe he uses the score and break method, 1/8-1/4 at a time, then grinds it to trim.
Yes, dennis is a shortie, you can see that in the crew pic. we had him sit in dads 53 and sized him up comparing his eye level to seat height and amount of chop. Dads was only 4" front 3" in the rear if I remember correctly. Marty

Mom and Colin supervising
John just had to get in and make vroom vroom noises after a half days work. Not bad, but the cutting is the easy part after all. Marty

Bob, we try to not jet John get in too much trouble, keeping him caged works well.
Dad welding the front post original door mis match, this really puts things in perspective doggys love trucks, even unfinished Dennis fitting filler pieces in the gap in the front Things have slowed down some now, the fitup, the care taken in getting good gaps on the filler pieces, making new pieces for filler, but things are steadily moving forward.
