Re: sexiest dropped roof project i've seen
I love that car !! my only problem with it is the fact thats is still running a 1200 

My biggest fear is that my wife sells my cars for what i told her they cost !!

I'm so bloody tempted to go the single window route. It's just so clean, anyone here actually have a working setup?

Is there anything you dont have?Bugger wrote:dsan wrote:I'm so bloody tempted to go the single window route. It's just so clean, anyone here actually have a working setup?
Yes
So spill the beans, do you like it? ease of installation? does it work well? do the girls like you more?

You need a few things to make one piece windows work properlydsan wrote:Is there anything you dont have?Bugger wrote:dsan wrote:I'm so bloody tempted to go the single window route. It's just so clean, anyone here actually have a working setup?

Most important is the Double runners with the pieces that hold the glass from a 67Bug
These things are Chicken teeth
With out these you waste your time
Then a std chrome beading surround to do edging on
Scraper rubber to fit on the chrome surround to edg it off nice
And
And
And atleast 2 days to have the patience to do it Right
I must admit The FLy has one piece in but still not properly finished off
The glass does not flop around due to the double runners
But the finishing touches on the rubbers is not done right

So just a word of Advice It looks alot easier as it is and a shit load of work
This is one job I always run as fast as I can away

Re: sexiest dropped roof project i've seen
I run the one piece kit in my 68' - Did it a while back and still get annoyed when i see the finishes - bending the new window seats round the top of the door didn't work out so well
Awesome though on a nice warm sunday afternoon cruise !
