Looks good, did you go with the power window kit also?

longnlow72 · 05-15-2005, 01:25 AM

nope being 16 with no job power worked its way out of the budget lol

longnlow72 · 05-15-2005, 11:51 AM

yeah all the seals seem to fit good and tight, you know on the top of the rear channel where u bolt it to the jam of the door? leave that screw out on mine it hit the window and pushed it forward not letting the window go up i called brothers they said to leave it out

Go easy the first time you close the door. The center part of the hinge that regulates how far the door will open is a pretty tight fit to the bigger piece of glass you have in there. They sometimes have to be mod'd to clear.

I love the look of a one piece glass but I like it when I can open the wind wing and get that fresh air. Yes, we do have fresh air here. I live in the county in Kentucky. Do not care much for the big city.

16 ?
Wow you got your self a expensive hobbie just like me. I bought mine when I was 16 too. I am now 20 and just finishing up the truck. Still need another 3000 to get it running and driveable.

All you need to do with the screw is cut it down. It's too long, the threads come out of the nut and hit the window.

How did you get the window track onto the rollers ? I had to get my dad to hold the window well I slid the wheels into the tracks. That was the hardest part of my install.

yupp, 16 and hoping for body work to be a career, i dont have them glued in yet, im gonna wait till i swap regulators just in case for some odd reason it changes it

72MARIO · 05-15-2005, 11:06 PM

Well thats the tought part. I would have someone hold the window about halfway up and you slid the wheels into the track. Dont put the scrapers in till it's painted. You wont get them out witout chipping the paint.

Body guys can make some nice money once you get good. I did all the work on my 67 and had a shop spray it It takes alot of time and skill to get a car/truck looking perfect.. I had to get a shop to spray my truck because it was winter and I could not heat the air in my shop as fast as it needed to get pulled out. I needed to get it sprayed so I could have it mostly assembled by now like planned.

What colour do you plan on doing you truck ?

longnlow72 · 05-15-2005, 11:12 PM

im doin it m4129r blue and m1007t white haha its a dark metalic blue and a pearl white, my dads best friend is a body man and custom painter so anything i need to know he can tell me lol, he gave me tons of paint chips and books this weekend and i have decided on those i think. i probably wont finish the install till i get closer to paint because i need to use the regulators out of my truck but have to have the truck assembled for daily drivin. having to have a truck together to drive becomes a pain on a project truck
