Fresh out of the mold the fiberglass rockers are getting bolted on for the first time
Drivers side fresh out of the mold
Fiberglass bumpers getting molded into the body Has to make them 2 piece so the lower valance can still be removed
Shot of the bumpers and rockers
Roughing them in you can see the split in them now and will make it almost invisable valance slides into the bottom of bumpers

I don't know anyone who's actually made a one piece side glass on a C2 that goes up and down. I racked my brain trying to figure out how to do it to no avail. The way the window goes down at a slant there is just no way that the front section would go all the way down into the door unless you cut that piece off the front. I didn't like the way that looked so
I ended up just putting a fixed piece of smoked lexan in place of the vent window, painting the frame black and tinting my side window dark.

I have the windows in and working pretty well I borrowed some ideas from the street rod world. Yes you have to cut the front of the window off but look at a new Vette how the front piece sweeps back and hides the front channel. That is the direction I am going Stay tuned more pics coming soon LOL Thanks for all the interest

I admire your persistence. I gave up on the one piece window. I just thought it was too much work and money for such little effect. What did you use for the glass? The original glass has a slight curve to it. Also what power window system did you use? I used Ball's but they were a pain in the a$$. I'm still trying to get them to work smoothly.
I'm interested in seeing the way yours come out.
I also like the way you did the front and rear windows to make it look like seamless glass. That's a lot of fiberglass work. What are you using for a molding around the glass?
I might attempt that if I ever do mine over again. I hate those stainless window moldings.

I am going to void the vent windows as well. Yes, hot rod experience is a must because it definitely is a "one off" trick. I have a contact that "bends" glass as I figured after I got into it the glass would have to be curved to make it work in the opening. If I get anything figured out before you I will PM you but sounds like your on your way.

Made some fiberglass panels to put in over the controll arm opening to Smooth it up a little more than the rubber factory ones.
Oh look the supercharger is bolted in also
Had to open the trans tunnel alittle also needed a bit more room
The innercooler going in this thing will get twisted turned and finally go in upside down LOL
The start of a new idea
Dash is out and getting ready for a few Mods

Bump, really looking forward to seeing how the seamless glass looks and the ventless side windows. I wanted to do that on my 67 but didn't have the body work knowledge or the funds needed. Maybe next time around.

Wow! you sure don't waste any time.Looking good, how do you intend to put the" black band" around the perimeter of the front and rear glass?I was interested in this mod,then I found out that the black edge on the glass is a ceramic type of coating done in the manufacturing process and it seemed too hard. Be interested in hearing how your going to do this.Look forward to seeing more pics.
