working on the glass and ElectricLife windows this weekend. Took a bit of time to get the stuff figured out as the car has been apart for a long time, and I completely gutted the glass and mechanisms.

Started by using B-Quiet on the inside of the door skins. What a huge difference in the sound of the metal when tapping on it now. Sounds like a late-model car compared to a tin can.







Then I took a couple shots of the side view of the car as it progresses. The vent windows and rear glass is in on both sides, heading out to install the final two door windows now. The color and wheels are really growing on me, may not need to spend a bunch of cash on modern wheels!

Who's doing the windshields?

BTW, the color looks great and the wheels are working!! Didn't you say you were having clearance issues with them though?

no clearance issues. The fronts needed an 1/8" spacer with the old spindles, but the AFX spindles cured that.

Jody , just a helpful hint.
Make sure that mat in the doors is good and tight. We have had many cars come back in the summer time with window assemblies stuck .
The heat lets the glue backing come loose and start to droop inside the doors and ends up jamming up the window assemblies.

CAR LOOKS GREAT !
