When you're faced with an unpleasant task that you really don't want to do, sometimes you just have to dig deep down inside and somehow find the patience to wait for someone else to do it for you.

Left hand side nearly done Image we thought we were going to have to modify the rear window opening but apparently John has figured out how to do it without mods to the window frame thank God ImageImage

Also picked up a 308 roller motor out of a VT Commodonor for $300 last weekend ImageImage just need to find a 5 speed to stick behind it now

Yeah mate, have got a set of window regulators out of a 57 Chev sports coupe - now that we have narrowed the B pillars the windows need to go back then down to clear the striker plates for the front door catches. Chev windows do that so we will make them fit .
