I've been waiting to see if this was possible. I'm most curious about what he did for the windows after he cut the door down. Is there just enough window there that all you need to do is cut it and re-do the felts/runners, given you don't tilt the windshield back?

When you roll the windows up the "sash" comes just under the belt moulding,just cutting the doors would hang the regulator above the new door profile. I see it has part of a jeep top mated to the Blazer top as well; car firewall, floors, frame? Hhmmmhh.

I'm guessing that since he chopped the top, he had "extra" window so the regulators don't need to be all the way up.
