Thanks Freddie,
And that makes two of us who don't enjoy adjusting windows or regulators. In doing the green car a couple of years ago, I learned a few tricks of the trade and they came in handy today. I went back out and played with the door glass for a bit tonight and got it dialed right in. I then went back and tweaked the quarter window and got both of them to fit like a glove. Also dropped some NOS window felts into place but I need to find my screw packs so I can screw in the ends in the morning. Time for some sleep.

LOL...me too actually. Adding something that helps change the look of the car really helps to keep me motivated. when major pieces like glass go in, it changes the whole look of the car and helps you see more light at the end of the tunnel.
I'm sure you're new build is going to be doing the same for you and I really like that new hood you just picked up. When is yours going into the body shop?

Started on the driver's side yesterday but progress was a little slower due to a couple of small hiccups. Those were sorted last night and the quarter glass was finished up. This morning I'll drop the door glass in and this side will wrap up quickly. Once the glass is done we're going to pull the front clip as I think I can get it fitting slightly better.
That will also allow me more room to work with when dropping in the motor, transmission and those M/T styled headers.

This car is coming out amazing; is the previous owner following the build? Just curious if he likes seeing the car come back to life.

If they are viewing, they may perhaps like to know that I now have a line on a DZ 302 motor and M21 transmission for this car although it won't likely happen until sometime after Covid is behind us. That would allow me to put this car back to a factory 302 drive train at some point in the future. More on that later as some time is required for this.

That being said the Goodyear L60's and N50's were also smaller than their contemporaries even back in the day. |

Thanks for confirming glass supplier.
I’m adding a passenger side door mirror too (it’s a requirement down here for road use of LHD vehicles) and wondered if you located it further to the rear than the factory put the driver side, or same measurement?
