    Sorry it took so long to do this guys. Ive been working on getting everything together on the car and until not, its just been cobbled together (still is, haha) here are a few pics of how it sits in my parking lot right now. i just want to say another HUGEEEEEEEE thank you to Jay aka Da Tinman, and everyone else on the HAMB who have helped me learn and accomplish so much in so little time. Ill have it at the Rust Revival this weekend so stop by and say hi. The paint is temporary on the roof, as I still have to do the body work this winter, but I just want to DRIVE THE WHEELS OFF! Here's where it started:

    Thats how they come from the factory. All the 2 door sedans have that,haha. Thats what I was thinking you were talking about though, but I am in the process of making solid fixed gl*** for the quarters.

    Its all good. You are in agreement with everyone else, its an ugly idea to the vent windows, but I had them, so I threw them back in. I have a few things left to swap them out to a fixed plane of gl***, which i think will clean it up quite a bit.
