that looks cool i might just have to keep this in mind if i ever build a hot rod fridge. im just wondering how do you chop the glass do you have to have a new windshield made or a stock one cut down by a glass shop or what.

The windshield, being safety glass can be cut down by a glassman that knows what he is doing (the latter part of that sentence being the critical part). Most would require a new windshield to cut tho, trying to cut used, scratched and chipped glass dramatically lessens the chance of success.

I've heard of the 57-60s called "refrigerators", "frigidaires" and "slab-sides". I'm sure it comes from the fact that they were the first rectangular body style and resembled a large home appliance.
One of the classic truck magazines had a chopped 57 a few months ago.
