   Yeah, I was thinking you might be able to cut a section out of the
middle,
but no matter how you do it you'd probably never be able to disguise the
line running through the middle of the glass. :-) Sounds expensie, just
for the glass alone!

: I talked to a guy next to me from Nat's last year
: who had a D150 (maybe a 100) with the font of the op chopped 6" and the
rear
: chopped 4". He also made on door suicide and the other regular. To top

   Is that "Casper"? If so, I think I saw that one on your vids.
