    very nice!
     
  6. MercManMario - I think it was 3 1/2" at the front & ending up with around 5 at the back. We notched the upper A pillar to lay down the roof so top of the front doors ran parallel to the bottom of the window opening & also dropped the back enough so that the rear of the back door window did not extend into the C pillar (shortening the length of the rear door window). After we did this we realized that we had to cut & drop the upper flange of the windshield to get glass to fit. (because of piecut at the A pillar).

    A guy I work with has a nicely chopped 4 dr 50 Merc, and he's turning it into an electric car with a huge electric motor :eek:.....He sold off all the flathead running gear to fund the project.....He's a real nice guy, but it's driving me nuts to see this......on the other hand, I wanna be there for the maiden voyage to witness this little chunk of history......I'll be sure to take lots of pix.........
     
  14. Merc Man Mario, Here are some pic's f/ '03. Sorry they took so long.

    VERY NICE! Thanks a lot for remembering! I am chugging along with mine. One side of the back window is all tacked in and i'll be starting the other side next weekend. I tried to this past sunday and struck one arc........then ran out of argon :(
