re: shaving vent windows
no not at you. use must have posted before i got done. i didn't like the commit
Why would I want to copy the chebby boys by putting on a Mustang II front end - to be like them??? I don't think so.
there are some people who say way waste your time with these trucks.
i guess i don't like somthings people do but they have to be pretty bad for me like it in some why.
also the vents where remove becuase its the easiest way to break into theses trucks. nothing wrong with stock but theres room for both.

re: shaving vent windows
I have seen it done and it is a nice smooth look. I am also a guy who loves my wing windows and I really miss them when I drive a newer truck, but not quite as much now that I quit smoking.
The M2? Well they sure seem to work for a lot of builders. I've never used one, but mostly because I hated those little 70s s**tbox cars so much that it's hard for me to use any part of one on a truck.
I also like following your build and can't wait for you to get it finished. I might tackle a similiar project someday (maybe a lightning or H-D F-150 running gear)
Are you going to shave the doors too? I think I would, but I'd probably chop it too and I already know how you feel about that.
Carry on.

re: shaving vent windows
Same here. I admire those who have the talent to do custom work and it looks like you have some very creative ideas.
I was just lamenting how things have changed and was expressing myself how I also admire what car builders of the past have created in the their original designs.
I love old houses as I love old vehicles. I think they're built better and have more style, but my friends love new houses with all the high tech stuff. Neither one of us is right or wrong.
Be proud of what you're doing, but keep in mine that others have a right to their opinion too. No one was criticizing you.

re: shaving vent windows
Please keep me posted on what you have to do to the top hinge. I would be interested in doing that to my truck. I think it looks pretty sharp.

re: shaving vent windows
I really think that is a cool look. Where do you get the window seals at for this kind of mod?
If at first you don't succeed. Get another beer.

re: shaving vent windows
That's the main thing I was wondering too. Seems to me that unless you found a bulk source for this, you'd have to piece together a couple sets. I'm sure you're going to have to (somehow) get some holes/slots drilled in the frame to install them....and I think that's actually going to be very tricky in the narrow space you have to work with!

re: shaving vent windows
Looking for an update on this thread? How did it go? I saw an episode of Trucks where Stacy did this on a Chevy. I've had this idea forever, but haven't found the kit, and don't have the ability to do it myself.
Please give us an update.
Thanks,
Patrick
