Would someone be so kind as to post or e-mail me a picture of the rear of a '63 split window. Need a good pic of the window area. Also if not to much trouble, the width of the rib seperating the 2 sides.
Thank you,

This is the best pic I have of my old ' 63 SWC.

Roger, the trim pieces are not parallel to each other,my split is in storage right now, but maybe someone can measure theirs at the top and at the bottom for you...

Not only do I have a SWC, but I also have a rear SWC section with no glass in it. Some measurements for you- Width of the painted part- 2.3" at the bottom, 3.9" at the top. With the glass removed, the total width including window lip is 3.8" at the bottom and 5.35" at the top. Obviously, the edges are not parrallel as VFW said. Let me know if you need more info. Did you get the pictures I sent?

Can I ask what your project is?

Bruce...Thanks for the reply. A buddy of mine bought a new '63 while I was in the army in the 60's. I fell in love with that car. I just traded my FRC for a new coupe. The rear window lends itself, most certainly screams out for attention. I'm going to try and replicate (faux) the '63 split window. It will be a little out of proportion but, I think I can make it work. To much time on my hands on weekends.
Oh, my old school buddy still has his '63 in a garage. 20000miles or so I think.
But that's my project Bruce. And no I didn't get the pics for some reason.
Thanks again for the reply. That will help a lot.
