If you can find a 1934 Chevrolet master coupe that had a rumble seat and if it still has the mechanism will fit right into where stock window is.  When fully rolled down still 2" of glass above the metal body line and drops down below on inside by 4" .

removing the vent windows, not a good idea, makes chev look like a 32--34 ford 3 w .     Amazing amount of air they direct into inside when you want them wide open.  Problem is 500 mile trip with them wide open, you feel like you have been bitch slapped in the face due to the wind buffeting.   I just roll down sides, open cowl vent and roll down rear window to cool off.

went to 1st street rod nats in Peoria 1970, Memphis in 71, Detroit 72, Tulsa 73, st paul 74 and back to Memphis in 75 last NSRA nats I went to.  Lots of miles of fully open vents,  because the firewall and floor were not sealed like they later became .

Mike I had kept the channels and mech out of my 34 master coupe. When it was no longer an option, I give it to the guy that bought it from me. My horizontal crossbar on the cage is right below the window. That's where my soulder harness mounts go. I always loved my early C3vettes that had the back window pop out. I liked the quiet ventilation it provided (and the sound of the exhaust back there  ;D)

My old '23 T bucket rpu was at the Tulsa nat's in '73 (four years previous to my ownership.

Yep, being wind blown after a trip got old. I quit riding road bikes years ago for that very reason (and idiots trying to run me off the road), and running my old Willys Jeeps over 55mph. :-\

yup, roll down rear window doesn't appear to be an option any longer without serious mods.

question, U said that's where my shoulder harness mounts goes.

 Are we talking full on race car system and if so, what are you going to be running in that car. ???????

Yep Mike 5-point harness'. I incorporated the 8-point saftey cage into the body structure,  all hidden behind interior.  I really like sliding the local dirt roads and may run at the local drag strip sometime. I have two motors, a '65 high reving little 301 hotdog for local fun and a '70 mildly warmed over 350 for road trips (dependable/ fuel mileage).  ;D

Finally back at it, garage is a mess. After I got the shoulder harness brackets welded on last week, (and some unplanned down time) I got all the rear panels fitted, welded, quick skim of filler, a bit of sanding and finally some primer tonight. I did manage to get the right rear door jam also. A paint stick with sand paper wrapped around it, is my new best friend. The center under panel unscrews to take off to get to 3rd brake light wires and more insulation later.

 Sammons....Don't you just love it when you make some progress...I try to plan what I need to  get done  when I go out to the shop ...and actually accomplish  some thing before coming back to the house.  Working on a console/drink holder on the floor between the seats.  Priced swing out cup holders and decided  beer wouldn't tasted any better in those holders :o

Yep, feels good for a change. Usually have a plan every night, then i wake up and change happens. lol  ;D  I don't know what I'm doing for a drink holder yet. Post some pic when you get yours figured out.

Couldn't find the little bit of lacqure primer I thought I had, so i had to mix up that darn stinking two part stuff. Now my house stinks.(didn't get the door shut all the way)  :-\

Nice work Sammons.  Those brackets look like they'll do the trick.  Keep at it!

Vette, I think we have our weather swaped around. We had 8" last sunday, and it's 20° here right now. The Sheriff (next county down) posted this computer model for the upcoming snow storm. :o  Hope it's wrong!  Enjoy yours!

I'm at the end of the black arrow on the edge of the 25.7"

That's the only reason I haven't started any work on mine, it's supposed to be 60° on Christmas and I want to go for one more ride :D Sorry for the bad weather Sammons but at least your getting stuff done.  Hope the inspector approves!

Sammons the car  is looking great, I like paint sticks also for sanding. The weather around here is weird. We just cleaned up 10 inches of snow from last tuesday, and expecting another snow storm next tuesday. I took the 1984 k5 I just bought to the field near my house and had some fun testing the 4 wheel on it. Never got stuck. Best $$$$$$ I ever spent.

Ghost28..One tough vehicle when equipped with the right Goodyear knobby tires  not to big  just enough to get you and the vehicle out of trouble  and not bunch up the tires with mud. I try to get the tallest skinniest tire that i can find.That and two Jack-Alls are your best friends. Check the Milliteria vehicles in your area check see what tire combination they are using on their  four by fours.You can't go wrong   vette59jdwl   PS  still no snow

Thanks guys, it's a slow road these days. Tom the inspector had to take a leave of absense, his knee was on the mend then he fell and popped his hip. His days may be numbered. :-\ 

I wish you all a Merry Christmas and be safe on your holiday travels! :)

Been dealing with the loss of a couple friends and an aunt last several weeks. All in a two week span, so not much time to work lately.

Started drilling out the bodyside hinge screws. Made a bit and handle for my air hammer and got out several. The rest i'm having to drill and chase(retap) the threads.(couldn't move my wrist for two days after).
The Filling Station has the correct small head screws, so I thought I would get some other needed things, but.......

Ok fellas, I know there are a few on here that have 33-35 stds. What do you call the rubber cusion(bumper) on the rear two body side jamb????    I can't seem to find them in The Filling Station, Steel Rubber or I & I catalogs.  Any help?
