:D Wow, that's all I gotta say

Man i wish i would have spent more time checking out that chevelle. I was so preoccupied with all your other projects. I can't wait to see this one done. Like always, top notch all the way.

Updates?
 

Rodger,

Any updates?

That's going to be Balls Marie! :thumbsup:

There are updates on my website of the door bars under the project listing of Mic's chevelle. Those door bars are rolled and bent to go from the main hoop to the double frame rails in the front. Now for some spreader bars and start on the motor/trans plates along with the back bones that goes over the trans to the rear bulk head. It will be cool..

Enjoy.

Can you explain your "wedging" a bit more ?

It looks like you cut some out of the a-pillar, and then pulled the roof forward and put a patch into the gap ?

What I'm really interested in is how you are handling this vis a vis the vent windows and normal windows.

I was going to angle the windshield on my '67 Mustang coupe backwards and lower the roof 1" for a subtle rake, and just move the whole greenhouse backwards 1" and just put some extra trim behind the rear 1/4 windows to fill in the 1/2" gap that would result, and take the extra out of the rear deck fillerpanel. I had a junkyard roof that I practiced on and it would have worked out good.

I had the sawzall positioned on the a-pillar when I wimped out - the primary reason being I just didn't have a good solution to the front vent window and primary window setup. I had some ideas, but all were risky and of course involved a ton of work.

Now my car has a roll cage that is 1" lower than necessary ha ha.

The wedge is cut through the body to take pie shaped piece out of the body to make the car thinner. We then choped the roof a tiny bit to get everything to look like it was untouched. If you look through the pics on the site you can see where we cut the rocker off the car and reshaped the door after raising it up on the body.

If you look at the pics on page 2,3,4 and they will show what exactly was done. They are not in sequental order, but you should get the idea. There is one that shows the uncut fender and the cut rocker next to it to give you and idea how much we took out.

Okay I was wondering why there was so many pictures of that rocker I couldn't quite put it together.

Does that mean you did not alter the windows at all ?

Just enough to flush fit the glass. We did just enough to bring it back into proportion. The biggest mods are the wedge and the moving of the body line.

Build-book
 

Rodger,

Sounds like you need to create a build-book of your projects!..... or, can you add text to your web-site photos?

Keep up the great work.
