fella,
I'm sorry I missed your post yesterday. Just how talented in body work are you? Well I'll tell you what I do and have done then leave it all to you.

I use a straight air saw, like a sabre saw but this entire thing, tool included is horizontally long. ( About 10"'s and is used by a lot of fiberglass shops.) I start about an inch below the top of the body curve-inside- and cut approximately a three and one half inch slot, from the end and the begining of this lot I then cut upwards to and through the body. Straight on each end. I thin continue to cut the body around the outer curve of the rear fender, going downward about four inches. Doing this to the other end of the cut you have made, take it down to it's level with your first cut. Now cut straight across again and remove this square block you just cut. with this removed you can actually glass in a block of wood, put it all back together again and duraglass or mar glass it back in place. Now you have the rear wood block support taken car of and you wont have to worry about the top breaking the glass-which it will eventually do! I do not think kitty hair is the way to go here.

Clear as mud?

PS.- start your rear cut from the door jamp about 1/4" away- toward the rear end!
