I rather just go with a whole new suspension system regardless at this point. The car def needs a freshening up of the suspension, and i'll have...
on a side note, i need to start selling spare parts from other projects and save up some $$ to buy this set up! [IMG]
I might as well try it. I'll see if i can drag it back outside for some pics on sunday.
Thanks, but i'd like to consider it more determination than anything. I had no clue what i was doing other than pictures i have seen what i have...
The shape of the glass seemed like it would make it alot harder to get a flow w/o extensive metal work. and my experience/skill isn't there yet!...
Re-read the whole thread, the original builder's dad has it now. the builder posted a current pic too... a hell of alot better looking now.
Im not looking to fill the curve on the side of the window, i want to make that correctly. Its the very slight overlap where the rear window lays...
So i made some more progress over the weekend. I realized i start school again tomorrow, so i needed to get as much work done as possible before i...

Looking at that again, i like how the rear wheel skirt is lengthened. Something so simple but its a nice change! Its making me consider tilting my...
Im planning to lay the rear window down keeping the bottom where it meets woth the trunk in place. If it doesbt look right i may shrink the window...
Finished it up, threw a can on there to show a reference of how big the windows are now. [IMG]
Not sure if i have room for it that way. But we'll see, these are just thoughts in the back of my head, so when i get to it i'll atleast i have...
the progression of my work-space in the past 2 years has been quite extreme. It all started under here, a typical italian grape vine: [IMG]...
The part im not 100% sure on is for the front windows. Since there is no longer a strait up and down track for the glass[im removing the sail...
Yup, learning experience to say the least. Not sure if im keeping the handles at all tho. I have shaved handles on my 65 chrysler and really like...
