shaving the drip rail. What did everyone do about the A pillar?

I am getting ready to do alot of sheetmetal work which includes shaving the drip rails. I have been staring at the cab for hours trying to get an idea on how i want to shave the drip rail were it meets the A pillar. I want to get it even with the door all the way around but the A pillar sticks out a good 1/2". I was curious on what others were doing to see if i can get some ideas. So if anyone has any pics of the shaved drip rails particularly near the A pillar would be great. Thanks and hopefully i made sense.

Josh

ps. I will see if i can get a pic today to help explain what i am talking about.
