Man, I would love to have seen that 56, sounds really sweet! Thanks for all the other input, I found it interesting as well...and I have many old mags about the chopping of tops already, and just about everyone makes no mention of the glass. I was more or less just curious and wanted to know, really have no plans to chop anything, least not anytime soon
.
Now as RPM wrote:
"side roll up windows aren't done, just don't get rolled up in the tracks all the way."
This I know to not be 100% true...if the cars basic roofline is retained, then yes you wouldn't need to cut the side glass. BUT...often the windshield and/or rear window profile changes, most times being laid down at a better, more attractive profile...in which case the side windows too need to be modified, and often "just don't get rolled up in the tracks all the way" wouldn't work. plus if you have vent widows, they are stationary and don't roll up or down, only swing in and out, you need to do some chopping.
Thanks for the input guys, I love asking questions to learn more about things like this that I don't know alot about, and everyone here as always, gives great answers and help.
