I'm building a '67 Chevelle 2 door wagon...I wanted to do the hardtop thing, but it was just so much easier to use El Camino doors...I need to get some pics posted here on this site...I have a couple on the chevelles.com site:

So what are you going to do about windows?...That's where I am lost...A quick check sends me to California with a price tag of $3000 for the pair of custom rears...OUCH...

Great project, keep us posted!!!

I like it that looks real cool nice long roof. I got my windows made by Ed Paulus he is in Bremerton his # 360 377 9794 My glass cost around $700 for the side & back glass

The Nova is coming along great! I really like what you have done to it.
I'll see you in Puyallup, my name is Eric. Just be watching for the guy with the bib on, it should keep my drool off your car!

Yeah I know Ed...He is great with glass...

But let me get this straight...Is your side/tail glass curved or is it just a flat piece of glass that he cut to your template size?...

I was under the impression after talking to quite a few glass shops that you can't cut tempered, curved glass...It just explodes...So you have to end up making the whole jig for the new complex curved pieces for right and left...

Maybe I'll have to go bug Ed...I think he was supposed to stop by Mark Cain's shop to look at doing glass for this baaaad ass '36 Lincoln convert that Mark is updating with some newer factory supercharged/injectecd Lincoln Mark IV hemi headed motor with a computer controlled/paddle shifted 6 speed auto trans...Some deep pockets on this one...But that's usually the way Cain rolls though...

Thanks for the info...

Looks like there may have been just a 'pinch' of humidity on this trip!! LOL

I remember driving my 67 big block Vette drop top to Bloomington with my (at the time) 10 year old son... HE had never been in the midwest and felt the heat and humidity. We're walking around the fairgrounds and he keeps telling dumb azz Dad about the golf carts -- and "why don't we get one of those Dad?" To which I reply - "they're only for VIPS and the Show people"... then he spots a big booth with "Golf Carts for Rent".... He's still bugging me about that some 12 years later.

Great pictures by the way - sure tells the story! Glad the car (and driver) made the trip and hopefully had a lifetime of adventure and memories.
