I drove my 6 into a tree Group: Members Posts: 1,306 Joined: 21-September 14 From: montana Member No.: 17,932 Region Association: Rocky Mountains |
altitude, funny, I got the early doors to rid of the weight of the crash bars. Mark (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif) I need the extra weight in my six. So much power and speed it wants to lift at 150 + MPH. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/poke.gif) |

So, I'm still leaning towards an easy solution... If I was to slap late doors/windows on to my '72, as well as a late model targa roof - I'd be good to go, right? (I have a late parts car). Plus I'd have the advantage of a little more crash protection from the doors. I'm adding a roll bar to this (mostly) street car anyway.

UPDATE - went to do the door switch-a-roo today and (wait for it...)... the dang side window on my '72 IS NOT EVEN BROKEN (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif) ... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/piratenanner.gif) . That's right, the front edge of the side glass, towards the top, has a factory made dog-leg curve to it which is normally covered by a metal strip. That strip had come loose and slid down, exposing what looked like a huge chipped off chunk of glass (IMG:style_emoticons/default/lol-2.gif) . I'm sorry guys, never seen that before, and it's been ages since I was up close and personal with an earlier car! Anyway, I 'fixed' it using 3M weatherstripping goo to hold the strip in it's proper place and for the small metal/plastic piece at the bottom rearward edge. Thanks for all the help!

Nice when it’s a simple solution.
A lot of the parts on our cars are sort of interchangeable but not really. |

Blake had tests today, so he was off. I got a basic listing up and will have him tweek it, but it's up.

Mark https://shop.914rubber.com/914-window-rolle...m?categoryId=-1 You wouldn't have the little rollers that are on the metal edge strip that fits on the front edge of the window, would you? There are 4 rollers each window and mine went flying when I pulled the window from the front guide channel. I was able to recover 3 only (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) |

He definitely has those for early windows (we are talking early at this point, right?):

Wow!
I was going to send some pics of different regulators when I discovered something off. Let's see how many knew about this finding (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) |
