Thread: 27 T tudor Hot Rod build

stovens, I'm in Crescent City, so we barely had any damage at all... I guess Eureka suffered some damage to some older, non-earthquake retrofitted, buildings in the old downtown area, but as far as I know, only a few minor injuries, and no fatalities, not at all like the quake in Haiti.
I may have to take you up on the glass people, there is a guy in Brookings, OR, about 20 miles North of here,so I may give him a try.
I am going to be doing something kinda different, in that the back side windows, which used to roll up, will be stationary, and I am going to TRY and use some left-over "Cal-Look" VW window rubber for the back window and the back side windows...I only ended up with two usable window regulators, they are the same front and back, so I plan on using the good ones for the door glass, and just using the left over window rubber for the two back side, and back, windows.
So, I am going to have to take some very careful measurements, include the width of the window rubber, and make a template, and do 1 at a time, until I get it just right. I've installed countless VW windows in my day, but never anything like this....the lip on the body appears to be pretty much the same as what I am used to on a VW Bug, so it should (keyword SHOULD) work....

Oh Great!

Now I know "why there was a shortage" of WHITE Cal-Look window rubber since the 1980's. Kafer Dave moved it to Northern California. LOL
