my friend at the shop told me that the glass guy was going to supply everything new so i really don't have an idea of what it take to do the work.
That would be cool if cars could heal them selves :lol:

Damn that 3" chop just looks right. You have changed my mind on the looks of a bump being slammed or being chopped. Kudos. :thup:

if the bottom of the glass sticks out cause i layed the glass back then all i need to do is modify that part of the window frame and mabe the rubber for the glass might be enough to make up for the gap.

Finally got my truck home cause my tags expire by the end of this month so it's better that it's at home.
I took a picture to do a comparison on the chop top before and after.
