[TSSPAYNE69RS]

I am waiting for the sure fix on this. I want to do it after all of you figure out the problems.

Ah, yes. That's the pioneer spirit.

Do you think that you could just use a fews beads of adhesive and let them set up and shape them to build the ledge?

Maybe. Probably. I think somebody with some experience with urethane adhesives might be more qualified to answer.

I was not going to use any "covering" molding other than a simple lip to cover the gap itself.

Bumping this thread now when JP's car is done... Is the glass still working fine? Any scratches from wipers (or you don't drive your car in the rain perhaps?)

In the end, we used standard glass and attachment methods (see post 71 in this thread).

I know this might be a little late in bringing ideas but cheak out this link. I have asked a couple of guys rod shows Ive attended who have done this. The original glass is being used. You just need to track down some type of gasket or bulk roll of trimming. If you happened to see this year, Perfection Autosports challenger and charger, I believe thats how they did theres with original glass. a http://www.extremefirebird.com/Bodymods.html

Ooops, seems like I missed page 4... So, as I understand it, you skipped the flush mounting and used the conventional method?

Great idea, and great model too!

I'm thinking about doing this! I'll use a plastic rear window and a standard windshield so I'm mostly worried for the front windshield...

Check out the above links. The top two are other threads here on this site and the last is a link to my web site for my 62 Nova. I flush mounted the front and rear glass, removed the drip rails, and removed the vent window. I used stock glass for all of the windows exept the doors which I had custom cut to some templates I made. If you use the stock glass you may need to build up the window ledge, extend the ledge in, and extend the body opening closer to the glass. I only left about 1/8 to 3/16 inch for the urethane glue. That was too little. It should have more so the urethane can flex more with the car. I used a S10 style window molding that I got from a mail order company. I can find out the company name if you need it.

Check out the links. If you have any questions you can PM me or post them here.

Dennis:

If you can post where you ordered the S10 style window molding that would be great. I have been looking for this stuff!!!
