chop top tech help please

i want to chop the top on my yota since the 20's wont let me go lower and i hait the pulled pillers back look!... and want to know whats the easyest way to chop the top and keep stock side glass and how can i get the front glass cut? ..

bout the only way to keep the stock glass and not have the pillars pulled back is to either not do much of a chop or to make the door posts wider to cover the gap and just not roll the windows all the way up..but that looks kinda ghey

how bout cut the top of the glass and extend the roof. if that makes any sense.

thats how my old timer hot rod friend does alot of old cars.

and Tom - remember that cutting tempered glass is a bitch and pricey as hell!

well what glass is easyer to get cut

You can cut down th pillars the height you want but you will need to cut the roof in 4 cuz you need to widen it and lenghten it. You can just cut the top of your windshield off and you can just drop ur back window down.. And the tops of the side windows will have to be cut off. I don't think there is a way to keep stock side windows. Look at body drops toyota. That's the way that is chopped

Chopping a top isn't easy, theres a ton of work involved. I think to get the look your after you will have to lean the pillars back a small amount so you can keep the stock side windows. If done right you can use all your stock glass. If you quarter the roof i'm pretty sure that you'll have to cut the side windows as well as the front and rear windows. I have heard of people sinking the windshield into the cowl.

You cannot cut the stock door or back glasses, and if you are gonna cut the front one down allow enough to buy another one because cutting windshields down can be tricky depending on the brand, quality and age of the glass. If anyone needs chopped glass, or custom glass let me know, I do it for a living, and can even get top quality bend windshields made up.
