You must know a creative "glass guy".
My body shop buddies always had a spare roof clip around when undertaking such an adventure.

JIG saw, 1/8th thick smoke grey. It’s fracturing it even with a fine diamond blade

nope. masonry blades are basically grinders. need sharp teeth

Yep, mine do the same thing buts to the wind and try to look all dejected. Sad part is they have a barn to get out of that crap but wont use it.

So many things change when you start choppin' those window posts. Length, width, angle

If you are tall I would do some pre cut math. While chopped does look cool, once done a tall guy really suffers trying to drive it. And if you are ever going to go to track with it you need to make sure you can get your gourd with helmet in. If memory serves you are not a small guy A?

You are really trying to NEVER finish that car.

The sad news is that number 14 probably won’t happen, mama is having emergency surgery now and this may end their chances for a second baby

Before I start a project, I need to see the completed thing in my mind, so I know how to accomplish it.... That is how my mind works....

So I scored some cool racks made out of thick wall tubing for free. HEAVY!! I was thinking using the steel from those, I have 2, and making a Rack, up high, on front of Car trailer, to haul stuff. Good Idea? Bad Idea?

I saw Greg and Eddy chop a Bug once. Basically had the roof clip cut into quarters to get the window posts to mate up after removing about 3". Used that spare roof clip for the tin to cover up all the newly created gaps.

Think tire rack on an open race car trailer. They seem to work well.

How heavy is HEAVY I guess. Weight limits, distribution and tongue weight if that matters

Trailer is a tilt bed.....I don't want to do anything to limit it's use.....BUT I could use the extra hauling capacity...
