slicknapier Posted November 5, 2010 Report Posted November 5, 2010 Finally got my car on the road again. Had to build new floors and rockers. Also chopped the windshield down a little...Here are a few pics... Quote
Frank Elder Posted November 5, 2010 Report Posted November 5, 2010 Your rear end is sagging...:eek:It's really shaping up, bagged? Quote
pacerman Posted November 5, 2010 Report Posted November 5, 2010 Where to you get laminated glass when you chop a windshield like that? Just curious. Joe Quote
BobT-47P15 Posted November 5, 2010 Report Posted November 5, 2010 Allright........definite progress. Shorter windshield is good. Actually the windshield on P15 convertibles is shorter than on the regular cars. I'm guessing your car was a business coupe in a former life?????? Is it going to have a top? Quote
Frank Elder Posted November 5, 2010 Report Posted November 5, 2010 Where to you get laminated glass when you chop a windshield like that? Just curious. Joe Joe, it's flat glass you can get it at any auto glass place cut to size, laminated or tempered. Quote
slicknapier Posted November 6, 2010 Author Report Posted November 6, 2010 Thanks guys. Yes it's bagged and yes it was a business coupe. Local shop here in Tucson cut new glass for it and used a universal rubber, $336. I will probably do a top in the near future. It gets hot when the sun is beating down on you and it's only been in the 80's. I don't even want to think how bad it will be when it gets over 100. Might do a carson top or cut and section the original roof and make it removable. Quote

faucet47custom Posted November 7, 2010 Report Posted November 7, 2010 I would love to see more pics of your front and rear bag setups. I want to do my '47 D24 sedan in a 'restomod' style and bags are high on the list. Quote
slicknapier Posted November 8, 2010 Author Report Posted November 8, 2010 It's not bagged in the front yet, just the back. Looks almost stock height raised up. I will snap a pic.. Quote
