    i wanna see as many pics of chopped 50's customs that kept the wrap around rear window as i can, especially hard tops.
    post em if you got em thanks!

    (disclaimer: i don't want to discuss keeping vs swaping out the rear window i know in most cases it looks better to swap it out just wanna see the ones that kept em):D

    thanks for the pics rick (EXK) very interesting , so you never cut the bottom half of the rear window frame free? you left that in place and just cut the top of the rear frame free and drop it straight down?
    how do you keep the top part of the window frame that you cut free from being tweeked out of shape too much?, do you weld in a cross bar from side to side like you did on the front half of the roof?.....thanks!

    Must work at least 15 minutes a day on your car. This is in the auto restoration rule book of life...well somewhere....Make time and re-prioritize. Baby steps will get you to completion w/o the complaint of the better halfs in our lives!!
