    Looks great!

    Any details on building the frames for the side windows would be greatly appreciated - Such as, what metal stock did you start out with?

    What about the rear window''s roll down or slide in. Was it a hardtop originally?

    Don't know about the color.It is industrial type semi-closs paint.
    Just picked this red from paint charts.

    It was sedan originally.Rear windows will stay up.There is no room them to go down.And I didn't want slide in type.

    I didn't take any pics when I was building the frames.It is U-shaped 16*16*2 mm steel.This picture is when I got them from chrome shop.Friend of mine has this machine which bends all kind of bars.It is like slip roll machine with three rolls.Vent window part of the frame is wider and it didn't fit to the machine,so I have to cut and weld them.
