In your initial comments you talked of going with one piece glass in the doors. Have you given that any more thought? I'm getting close to starting that on my '65 sub doors and am looking for any helpful ideas. The door stop looks like it may be an issue but I think later model hinges have a built-in door stop link. If the complete hinge is not a bolt-in swap maybe the link can be incorporated into the '65 hinge. I've already purchased power units that have a GM style motor attached to the vertical track. I'd like to make the mounting brackets bolt to the door edge or bottom because I'm not sure if I will use the stock interior panel or a full door upholstered panel. I've got one door that needs to be reskinned so getting access to plan things out should not be a problem. Sorry to hijack your thread but I wondered if you had looked into this yet?

I have looked around and found a site that says they offer a kit for one piece glass for both door a little pricey I guess but not too bad they say it includes everything needed to do it and even comes in tinted glass.

I'm still a little torn between the original with the vent windows and then one piece glass. I have yet to decide, basically this thing seems to be morphing into something that I had not planned on so far it has stayed true to the whole vision, but as I move along through the process things are changing some either because it has to change due to some just not being able to do it based on the idea or things are just not made they way I would like them and I have to change it to make it work.

I have got a way to go before I get to the doors and Ill post pics as I go along.
