ever thought about choppin & layin?

now that i've peaked your curiousity..........i've been back and forth on whether or not to lay the windshield back 2" on my upcoming 71 gmc build. first saw this process done in an article @ Scotts Hotrods in a Classic Truck'in article a few yrs ago, helped on one with my brother and his buddy while visiting in Ft. Worth, TX 2 yrs ago. i really like the look and the profile that it gives the truck "in pictures", but its a lot of work "and" expense. the custom cut side glass on brother's buddy's truck was almost $700, and i never got to see the finished product cuz he sold it before i could visit again. what are your opinions, have you, would you, if so do you like this profile. i would'nt hesitate for a minute if i did'nt have to kick out the green for custom glass (got 2 extra cabs), but i don't know if i'd like it enough the justify the time and expense.

i kinda see it as a subtle mod that is done to show cars to win extra points, but not much else.
