I thought about that myself, but what has stopped me to this point is that I was not sure what to do with the gap that is transferred to the engine tin.


I really like how the car sits with the raise in. It gives you and extra inch before the wheels start to "squat" but you have to make several adjustment. I probably wouldn't do it again based on all the modifications I had to make. And thanks for the compliments I'm trying the best with what resources I have.

Only the back glass would need the interior tucked under the lip and in interior spoon can do that. My side glass are pop out and when that time come they can just undo the 3 screws. In order for me to get my car to the interior shop I would have to drive it there......sooooo all that stuff needs to be in.

Looks good, trick to front windshields or any glass is you don't beat them in like people say. I did 2 windshields and glass all the way around by myself and didn't hit them once, and didn't break them either and one had a chip in it. They will slide in with no force…

But your care is looking good.

Thanks Nate, I had my hand on the glass but wasn't applying pressure. The rubber was folding under on the bottom that was the only pressure I applied. I think the glass was a little too big.

Finally drilled the holes for the hood molding, crest and hood handle. Looks straight to me.
