I believe the hood crest was standard 52-54 issue, just mounted higher. The heat shield is fabricated from leftover reynolds wrap from an expired 55 Patty. I don't know if it will help anything really, but it makes me smile whenever I walk past the car.
I did not chop the top at all--when I scaled photos to get the basic dimensions the glass height seems stock. The Motto roof appears to have a lot less crown but I'm not capable of duplicating that! I am going to rely on using a darker color on the roof to minimize that aesthetic problem. I did use the 53-56 sedan rear window that they seemed to use.
