Try this! This is my absolute most favorite '53/'54 EVER!!
Chevy really missed the boat when they dropped the Fleetline after '52.

I think the window in Ness' Chevy is 49-50 Plymouth. Cole will offcourse know.

Chevy 150-windows are also a good option.

Don't do it this way. I had to use plexiglas for the windshield and rear window. Still was a fun car.

Hey Brain. What are you cutting??? Is it yours or sombody elses?

My suggestion is the shoebox Ford backlight. Fits in all kinds of stuff...

Send me a pic of what you are doing. Loveme, -Abone.

The shoebox window does work well. The only downfall to it is the ford backlite is narrower than the chevy roof, and the chevy has more of a crown to it at the outside of the roof in the rear than the ford.
Because of this, there is a lot of metal work to the roof above the quarter windows to make it flow into the ford window and look right..
Not that thats a big deal considering the amount involved to begin with..
If i was going to do another one, i think i'd try a window out of a '49-'52 chevy, or a club coupe window from a '53-'54.
I'm thinking that the general shape of these would be easier to "fit" in.

But thats just my own experience at it.

It also helps to have all the necessary tools to do the job then so much metal work/piecing wouldn't be involved!...Dirty
