here are a few photos that illustrate some of the “real” challenges we faced while designing the Door Mechanisms and Window Tracks. Since the Belt Molding was lowered approximately 1.5 inches, we had to adjust/cut the Channels and re-weld new mounting points. The original Window Channel (mechanism) was too close to where the Weatherstrip was going to attach. We used the original Front Door design for the Rear Windows to provide clearance that was necessary, due to the Belt Line dropping. After thinking through the mechanics and functioning of the original components, here is what we came up with. (Below) Ignore the “rough” appearance of the components. All of the parts will be dissembled and plated (to look like new) after the test fitting is complete. Everything works and looks Factory Perfect! It’s full steam ahead……..!
