How to do the Quarter glass has been up for debate on several different forum's, but here is what I have settle on... It works great with the roof structure, and blends well with the door glass. I personally think that the roof structures blending between the quarter glass and back glass is about as good as it is going to get proportionally.. Please let me know what you guys think, and keep in mind that the glass will be at door glass depth in the body.. This is just a black out to represent the actual CUT OUT on the body, the actual glass will be a bit smaller and inset about a 1/4 inch like the door glass..

Also consider, I am doing these mods with out all the new and updated tools that most profession build shops have.. ha ha I am using the tools and equipment that most people who would consider themselves to be a Automotive Novice would have in his garage (with the exception of the rotisserie maybe). So some of it doesnt look real professional right now, and some of the techniques may be a bit off, but in the end I believe it will get there. I know that some things would be alot easier with the proper tooling, but I really dont do enough of this type of build to consider the investments..
