Keep the marker lights but change them to something else. Lights can be used as an accent piece.

Yes, and we need a thread on how to do it! I'd love to tackle that on my 1970!!!

WSSix 10-11-2013 06:55 PM
I'd say flush mount also since the metal has to be fixed. However, what does the glass cost? It's a custom piece isn't it? Or do you reuse the original and make all the changes in the channels? Yeah, we need a thread. You'll have to flush mount the front now too if you do the back. Do it! LOL

You use the stock glass the way Vince is talking about doing it. Mostly likely I won't as it still takes time to do it and I have an idea on what I'm doing with the trim and bumpers on the car so I really want to keep the trim so not this time :D

Yeah or if you do a brushed look to all the trim :relax:

glassman 10-14-2013 09:00 PM
it looks really good to flush mount, but as a glass guy, do you add the channel/metal towards the edge of the glass or do you add the channel under the glass ? in other words, do you raise it to be flush? if you did i would thind the gap would be too much, so you add the metal to make the opening smaller?

yes, just move the channel closer. Then you add metal raise the base. We shoot for 1/4" edge gap and 3/8"base gap for the urethane.


or build up with urethane and run a rubber trim. Which would be totally reversable.

You guys gotta have some faith!

Powertrain comes when you can fully afford it. Do all of the close to free stuff you can do and still keep it running.

I am certain he will let you use it. However I think his car will be back from BBT soon and I think his car will be going on it.
