My old '66, chopped by 3.75" at the A-pillar and 2.75" at the B-pillar, stock rear screen and pie-cut C-pillar. De-guttering helped lose the wedge shape chop.

Quarter window shape kills a decent chop every time. Just because two panels kinda line up doesn’t mean your done.

I can't stand angle chops. Best VW chop ever was Fred Hidalgo's car.

Volksrods are another story. The lack of rear fenders makes some short cuts easier.
