Would you recommend rebuilding the vent window or going with the delete kit and making it a single window? or is that really just a personal choice?
Yes, it's silver metallic, iposted some outside pics a couple weeks ago.

Everyone that has had it done, had the glass cut and peiced a kit together! That's my understanding from autoloc. Truckin did a spread on it and also stated the same fact.

Looks good Alan cant wait for your window thread!
and i agree with the vent windows

Thanks Mac, Once I get my act together I will do a full step by step.

Good luck

I've seen a 70 Chevy with one piece windows. Even the owner wasn't happy. If someone decides to do it, mock it up before paint. That way the area around where the vent glass goes can be repaired to make the appearance flow more. On his you have to push out on the glass as it get close to the top of the track. The glass leans inside, why, I don't know. I would much rather do power windows with the factory stuff.
