History 3 Window Conversions - Documenting those that exist.

Discussion in 'Traditional Customs' started by Flyinlow, Aug 22, 2025.

  1. With so many customizers daring to be different, the three window conversion can be one of the most difficult modifications to attain a great flow and style.

    Digging in and searching out to Document and view what 3 windows are out there!

    That is a tidy conversion. It deserves a paint job.

    I have to give the person credit , maybe he did his best at the patina .
    Not one clue , if he did it himself congratulations are in order , if he paid a painter make him paint the car over .

    I really like what's been done, but couldn't help wondering that a more rounded window shape would look like.

    I'm sorry, but I just don't see it. To me, the sail panels just get too overpowering in pretty much every conversion like this I have seen. But, that is also what makes this hobby great. We can all have our own taste. :D

  17. I suppose it depends on how it has been done. I've seen many with too large of a sail panel for my tastes, yet the reverse is true and some panels feel to dainty. Definitely not a conversion for the unexperienced. Though that applies to chops and most mods...
