I fabbed it up. The 79 had some rust on the 1/4's around the window opening,but not the channels themselves,so I cut directly where the channel curved onto the 1/4 all around that area of the window opening,then pie cut the piece(I never fully removed it) and rolled it up to meet the new window,tack welded it to the roof,then fabbed up everything else. It saved me from fabbing the whole window bed as well as figuring out what to use to mount the window molding clips. I kid around that the car is still all GM metal,. The trunk lid was rusty underneath,so I put my 73 trunk lid on it,and used the 79 lid to make my filler pieces,they are done both inside and out. I wont deny it,there is a fair amount of mud over it all,but it was more of a way to challenge myself and make something interesting,and I do like the 70 window better.
Heres another pic just for the heck of it. I will say that I have aligned the door a lot better since then.
If you drove down the street looking for my 73,this is what you would find of it right now.
