Nice job ! Top/back window area look great(very hard to pull off on these cars). Set of skirts will give it the perfect profile. NICE
Really like the use of the stock rear window, looks much better than a smaller window. exellent planning to make it work.
nice job, had you considered leaving the rear glass uncut and lowering the lid (to remove some of the rear hump in the roof these cars have. (maybe it is still stock height rear glass and its just my head that thinks the rear glass was chopped along with the roof.
thanks.. well i got the super car club discount! So im not sure.. but they can go between 4 and 6k with glass done.. just depends on who is doing it and how skilled they are in doing it! Thanks.. wasnt too sure about the lights.. but i think its a neat look.. Thanks, im really happy with it! Already have some skirts on the way i bought from a fellow Hamber! Thanks.. that was the only way i was going to chop it.. WITH the rear glass! Thanks Boones.. yeah its actually pretty close to stock height.. the center piece of the rear glass goes right back in.. the corner pieces ALMOST fit, but need a little bit trimmed around the corners...
thanks guys for the positive comments! this weekend im going to be doing body work and prepping my dash.. my skirts should be here any day.. will take a few pictures with them on..
All the reinforcements are done... did a little overkill just because its a hardtop and I have no B pillar... im taking it home tomorrow to start bodywork.. skirts will be here Tuesday.. going to work on getting those fitted just right.. stay tuned..
Lowered the tail lights down two inches to center them up.... yeah i know, I forgot to put the actual tail light in before i took the pic! Doesnt look like it now..but with the light and bezel in..its centered between the bumper and top of the quarter..
funny guy I guess im going to have to go all "traditional" and run it out the back just like everybody else... so much for being different, I guess i cant weld my doors shut and run black nets in my windows either. Yes Bob, exhaust is getting relocated! Keep it up tho, and im going to cut little ports out of my skirts! haha!
HAHA! I wasn't busting your balls...I was wondering if you had some "trick" planned. I've been kicking around the idea of working side pipes. That way I don't have to spagetti around my suspension. It's hard to go over a really lowered alxe.
haha i hear ya... that was the reason why i put it where i did. I had to go around my 4 link stuff and i didnt want to drag it going in and out driveways.. i had it dump right before the rearend before.. but the fumes just about killed me! so i just had them dump out the fender wells 'temporarily".. 2 years later, its still there!hahaha! No tricks planned yet.. just going to figure a clean way to route them to the rear of the car..
Bob cut down my rear quarter window frames AND made them functional.. which was tricky with the way they roll back when rolled down..
I just love.that u kept the stock rear glass. Everybody always brings me mercs, I want to chop a hardtop caddy or something simillar!! Looking good!
