    That was the perfect pic to post to prevent such a tragedy from ever happening again!

    To properly chop a musclecar and make it look right like Roy Pigford's SMOY Nova, you have to lay the windshield back instead of cutting it, then bring the roof down an inch or two max to match it which will require making new door glass and a bunch of metal surgery because the header will be in a new place among other mods to get it just right and A-bodies aren't ugly or particularly tall in the roof like a Nova post car or a Model A, so save your time and money unless there's no budget and a ton of talent on hand.
