If anyone finds this old thread on how to do this; There are two rivets at the top and bottom of the front vertical stainless that have to be drilled and that is removed with the glass, then the glass slides out the top of that stainless support on two tracks.

I'm in the same boat on a post RR... having a hard time figuring out how to get to the securing bolts...

Those are exactly them! I will check Year One and Legendary. The ones we have are all pretty badly misshapen. - - - Updated - - - Argh! Neither of them (nor Classic) have the pieces. I'm thinking these are going to be pretty rough to come by...

Sorry for the slow updates... been painting and assembling like crazy. Some teaser pics... check out the "shop pic".. lower left corner is a tire. - - - Updated - - - Does anyone know how to install these "Rear Window Retainer Clips"? They are the alligator teeth headliner...

I would say Friday, but Marc is now "The Man" as far as gigs go, and he's got one somewhere friday night. Maybe next Fri?

It came out great, but not without some finessing. You've got about 1/8" to play with to get it in through the door opening. Takes 3 guys to get it in and out without tearing stuff up, and it had to go in and out over a dozen times to get everything ready for final weld. :)

Ok.. ongoing discussion with the owner of the RR... the car has double 99's on the fender tag. Behind the rear seat, near the passenger speaker opening facing forward written in black was "S.P. ORANGE - 3" (You can see it in the upper left corner of this pic from when we were inprocessing the...

Sorry about the slow updates... been busy getting this beast back together. Exterior bodywork is done, engine compartment is done, interior floors are all done. Got the K member powder coated along with all of the front end parts. New brakes, spindles, bearings, brake assemblies. Car has...

No,just a 383. Nothing overly rare about the car other than sentimental value to the owner.

Been a while since an update again... been plugging along! Got the floor pans done, interior panels done, dash repaired, engine bay done detailing, all exterior sheet metal done, subframe connectors and torque boxes installed, front suspension was powdercoated and rebuilt, rear end was painted...

Yep! Unibody Rack is the best way to do it.. Put the car on it, secure EVERYTHING, then start taking out the bad stuff.

I know what you're saying about the VIN tag.. rest assured we are NOT looking to alter any data on the car... but the radio isn't the only area that has problems on the stock dash, and the owner has tasked me with going to the new dash. Need to find a way to get the original rivets or we are...

Been a while since we updated this build. Car is on the rotisserie right now. Bottom is undercoated and all the steel work is finished. We've moved to finalizing the interior pieces and are ready to put her back on her wheels... but there's a problem. The original dash was hacked at some...

Got the rest of the panels repaired, started into bodywork. Getting close to going on the rotisserie now for undercarriage detailing. Subframe connectors and torque boxes came in. Have 1 'decent' deck lid out of 3... but could really use a nice one. Pics:

Snake; Yes, we build anything 'cool' down here.. Apes, Big Baggers, Top-Fuel stuff, Dirty Toys, almost anything. Leo; I still need to stop by and see your place! We have shop nights on Friday after 1 if you end up getting bored and want to stop by. The RR is coming together nicely now...
