Hey. Just joined up with Latral-G... found your post on google while looking around for idea's for chopping a Nova... Anyhow, names Brian, my Dad and I have plans to do the same to our '67. It's currently at the stripping shop... We've had to remove the roof skin and whatnot due to rust and started thinking about putting more slant on the windshield. That's when we came up with the idea of just chopping it since the new skin was not installed yet...

Anyhow, did have a question about front ends... Looking for best front clip that will provide a good ride without sacrificing looks... Don't want something so stiff that you feel every little bump - no what I mean?

Was thinking about a Detroit speed but they're too damned expensive so what's a good alternative?

Thanks
Brian

Brian,,, You will to get your glass cut,, I'm going with power windows , the door latch will have to be modified,,because the rod and mechanism will have to be moved to the inside of the door glass,,, I also moved the windshield header at the roof up, so the stock glass won't need to be cut,, since your roof panel is off ,, think this out for a flush mount glass,,My new glass is at the shop now,, I have a pro-glass rear,, RogerJ

Windshield: We had planned on cutting and shortening the sails just enough to lay the windshield pillars back a bit.

Flush mounted glass would be very cool, but it seems like more work than I'm feeling like I want to do (lol), unless I'm over-thinking it which is quite possible??? A crash course explanation would be greatly appreciated. :)

Btw, I've worked in the auto body industry for 30 years and have plenty of knowledge to share if needed, but will never claim to be an expert on any matter of the subject... ;)

Thanks
Sent You a PM, If you want to BS ,about the Nova,,:superhack: When You lay the A- pillar back the vent window becomes' the problem,because the angle changes,, also the back window and quarter window,,Corner molding at drip rail,,and on and on,,,
