After that take it to a glass shop,or some were that has a belt sander to smooth the edge. But I am not sure you can do this. I might try. What did you do ? The windshield is all I got left to do other then painting.

Yes, I cut the sheild.....it took about 6 hrs to get it down to size, then the belt sander went to work. I cut the sheild with a glass cutter, a strip at a time. just like any saftey sheet, you cut 1 side, then the other......the only difference is that you are cutting a little at a time . the glass is taken off in cresent pcs,(about 2 -3" long,& 1" wide) starting from the backside on the 1st cut. I had about 10yrs in glass work, so the flat stuff was no problem......the curved saftey sheet takes a lot of patience to do tho! Its all explained in the HOW TO CHOP TOPS book, as well as many pics on the 67-72 trucks & many others......  L
