chop top blazer

well im working on building my 95 blazer, and i want to chop it. i have heard all the negative about u cant cut the glass. well im that person that wont let an idea faid away. so while trying to figuire out wat to do, i was on if customs sight and was seeing that they use all stock glass... how do u go about stock glass chops

they layin the windshield posts back and u can use the stock windshield but i think it looks nasty ..... idk about the sides ive never heard of usin the stock glass on the sides

ok well the only thing that can be cut is the windshield so i could deal with that, but how about the big rear hatch, maybe lean it forward, rework the doors use the stock glass, wat does eveyone think

call IF in the morning and ask them what they would do and go from there

you can usually use stock door glass..roll your window down a few inches and if its done right it would be no diffrent chopped..so roll the window down and thats where your pillers need to be now.

I recomend you get Tex Smith's book How to Chop Tops. I have seen where people have cut into thier cowl area and lowered their front windshield but that only works with a few inch chop. for the doors you can use yor factory glass once the chop is done you fill in the pillars. for the rear hatch you may want to concider a rear window from a doner, such as a split window from a older VW. if you decide to cut the front glass. cut the glass first and chop the top to fit the glass. i also recomend you cut freash glass because it won't be brital.

I also agree with James call IF!

this is some great info everyone. will IF be willing to talk to someone thats not bring them there truck, i mean the whole across country thing isnt going to happen

some other advice...call or drive by a glass company...talk to some local places about chopping the glass or getting custom stuff made to get an idea of costs, whether or not there is a place that can do it locally, and see how confident they are in cutting it down

I have called them a couple of times and they were very helpful.
