Would you recommend rebuilding the vent window or going with the delete kit and making it a single window? or is that really just a personal choice?
Yes, it's silver metallic, iposted some outside pics a couple weeks ago.

Looks good Alan cant wait for your window thread!
and i agree with the vent windows

Thanks Mac, Once I get my act together I will do a full step by step.

Good luck

I've seen a 70 Chevy with one piece windows. Even the owner wasn't happy. If someone decides to do it, mock it up before paint. That way the area around where the vent glass goes can be repaired to make the appearance flow more. On his you have to push out on the glass as it get close to the top of the track. The glass leans inside, why, I don't know. I would much rather do power windows with the factory stuff.

I tried something new (to me) with putting the impala dash in. It was very trying but well worth it in the end. If you like your idea and have a vision, I'd say go for it. You will learn alot and you can share your experiences with us.

Agreed, and thanks for the support. School is picking up a TON of momentum. We had our first exam and I demolished the grading curve ...making 45 guys fail...
I was in class thinking.... "What would Allan Do?" You'd be proud... lol

When did we get our edit button back?
4. Technician A says that magnesium parts should be welded using a GMA (MIG) butt joint with backing.

Technician B says that when welding magnesium, a magnesium electrode wire should be used to help ensure good weld quality.

Who is right and why?

*Technician A says that a tailor-rolled blank may have different types of steel designed into each part.

Technician B says that a tailor-rolled blank is a seamless structure with varying thicknesses.

Who is right?

And if you catch your edit fast enough (within 5 minutes) you get your edit button back before it's permanent.

Don't worry about what I would do......I'd run out of the building screaming.

The edit button is back like it use to be. I can go back and edit stuff I posted yesterday or even 2 years ago. Thank you to the staff.

In regards to structural automotive applications you are not allowed to repair or weld on Magnesium or Ultra High Strength Steel at all.

The tailor rolled blank is one seamless piece that has a hydraulic roller form it to create thin spots for crumple zones.
[/threadjack]
I'll take whodunits for 1000 Alan.

Where's pics?

Magnesium can catch fire? Am I right? I know VW engine cases are made of it, and will make a very bright camp fire that's hard to put out.

Yes magnesium will burn and the only way to put it out is to eliminate the oxygen from it.
