Just wondering if there was a source as I have been working on a '49 Sedan at work and made up a set of front and rear one-piece glass that looks stock- not like some kits with the lame corner pieces. Designed the tracks, got the shape right on the window templates and figured out how I'm mounting the rears solid without modifying the car to death. Using the stainless around the windows too. Added power windows up front and got it all working slick. Would this be anything many other people would have any interest in?
No- Tudors had windwings front and rear. I eliminated them so now the glass is full length of the opening.
Sure- and they will know exactly what shape to make them and hand you the channels to install them. Thanks for the input!
I believe the current issue of Street Rodder magazine has a 1 piece window install on a Shoebox. They usually list any shop involved in the credits. They may already have a pattern for the glass you're after once you contact the shop they used for glass.
i got my driverside rear mocked up and a cardboard templet made for my 50 coupe its pretty striaght forward
I would like to keep the front windwings and go one piece on the rear windows. What to do with the stainless window trim is also a problem to keep it from looking pieced together. Would like to see some construction and finished pictures. The shoebox site had an article on this a while back and I think there was some company even making a kit for the rear window crank mech. but there was not much interest in doing it there at that time and it dropped off.
the stainless around the 1/4 window looks the same as it mouints to the pinchweld on the body the window crank mechanism all mounts to 1 piece of metal that is screwed into the car with 6-8 phillips head screws i unscrewed them removed the crank and guides from the main piece then screwed the panel back into the car and bent over the top of the panel to where it made a flat mounting surface under the window then i bought some glass run (metalchannel) and some weatherstripping(catwiskers) to fit it and will screw that down below the opening and use the stock garnesh molding to hold the window sandwiched between the body and the garnish molding
