Sent you a PM Jim. Just found a thread where a few guys sunk the front windshield so they did not have to cut the windshield. Seems like that...
Beachbum, I like that also. I say I could make it look like that without to much problem. It does look better not having it slop as soon as I...
Same here Scott. I'm going to give him a call up and see how much it will cost to get a glass cut for me.
I see what you are saying. Guess I just need to figure out what I want to put into this car.
By the way the top will be off 80% of the time anyways. [img] [img] Also, at the rear of the top I do not have any rails because I have not...
Wanted to give an update on the windshield that is installed in it now. I called up Chevys of the 40s and asked if they could measure a Olds...
Love your build. Working on a carson top for my 52. Would love to see some pics.
Thanks for the link. Surprise I have not seen that thread yet. For some reason I just love the look of the top off sedans. I say most of the...
So the hard top/convertible glass is 2 inches shorter? Is this the 52 chevy glass or a 523 olds glass? Thanks
This is what it looked like before... :eek: [img]
Here's a a picture of the upper windshield frame that I worked up. Not done with it but pretty close. Just need to clean it up some. [img]
I'm also not trying to build this chevy to look like a original convertible. If I wanted a original convertible I would just buy one. I'd like...
Really like the look of this one. Was it a true convertible? As I can see the vent window is a convertible vent window. That's one of the...
Rik, trying to figure out what you are talking about with the a-pillars. Are you saying I should make them more on a angle? Also I don't like...
Special, thanks for measuring the channel for me. Going to an upholstery shop today to see what they need me to install so they can attach the...
Hey Special, what size should I use? 1/2" like the conduit?
Thanks brigrat. I'm going to make a few changes but I'm getting close. swissmike, I would like a chopped windshield but have two problems....
By the way have yet to work with the rear window. Trying to figure out what I want there.
A little intro, bought a 52 chevy deluxe 2 door sedan a few months ago. This is my first project. Figured I would just jump right in and learn as...
Hey modelamac, thanks so much for that diagram. Going to check out the car tomorrow and do more research. Thanks again!
Ok thanks, I'm cool with modifying the frame just don't want to mess with the windshield.
Sorry guys it was a 2 door chevy deluxe sedan. Having to refab the top of the windshield frame and figured while I was in that area if there's a...
It was a 52 chevy deluxe.
Long story short bought a 52 chevy that someone cut the top off of. Going to build a carson top for it and now is the time to chop the...
Nice to see another Viper owner enjoying working on older cars!
The paint is in good shape. It was only cracking in the middle of the hood as he just used bondo for that crack. I guess I'm going to cut my...
I've rebuilt engines and transmission but have not had experience with body/metal work. I think I have all of the tool needed to do a good just...
Just added the picture above. That is what I am worried about. To do it right would be to take it back to metal and fix all areas that need to...
Well I sure would like to just feather it in. I'm going to look over the body good tonight and see how much bondo is on it. That might show me...
Are far as fillers I have allmetal and rage gold. After thinking about it I think there are some other body work issues' on the car so I might...
