A buddy and I chopped the top of an old Ford once. We tried cutting the windshield 3 times, all of which failed. We ended up using a full size windshield and dropping it down into the cowl. We tried both sandblasting and an abrasive wheel on an angle grinder. Ow well, maybe it can be done, I just haven't had much luck with it.
You are right, it does look kinda tall, however it is actually a bit wider (36") than it is tall (32") through the body. It will have the wheels out another foot on each side, so there is a really exagerated "coke bottle" shape to it, and the wheel base will only be a foot or two longer than the track. At roughly 38-42 inches tall, it won't even reach the middle of the grill on a lot of the jacked up "compensation" trucks around here. I have even though of a "visibility pod" like the "California Commuter" so I don't get run over. . .
That Boxfish shape is a lot to think about. Almost verticle front would be nice for a grill, but I won't have one in the front. The windshield bottom is almost at the front of the vehicle, I can work with that. Cool. Thanks for the feedback.
