THIS company cuts curved windshields and from their site "The average chop starts at $395 with just the top of the glass cut and re-shaped to original. Additional cuts or modifications can be extra." Also HERE's some tip how to cut them also...joe

Be sure to take a lot of pictures as you fabricate the top and sliding mechanism and then post them up either in this thread or in your journal. If it works, I'm sure others might want to steal your design (um, that would include me).
