How about a proper ONE PIECE WINDOW thread......
Tony M:
Only needed to glue the curved ends - the rest is ok - Hey Donny B. I like those - Clean finish - What did you use - Are those made by you - or ?
Jim Ratto:
Nice work Donny B :)

Donny was kind enough to send me a couple of pieces of that molding. Unfortunately, I don't seem to have his talent for making it look right. :-[

Pretty cool subject to talk about. When I restored my 1952 split window I found the window felt / and window channels here in town and made my own outside window scrapers with the rear lid seal with the late GM buttons. As for my 54 oval I also bought the window felt here in town and had them installed all the way down to the bottom and I had to make out of pine wood a piece that I could screw on the inside edge to hold down the felt and I also used the 1951 to 1955 window regulator.The other thing I had to do was after the vent windows were removed to weld a small piece of metal across to add and to be able to drill a few more holes for the outside scraper to be held this way you have the scraper all the way a cross nice and tight. You can also put a small amount of surfboard wax on the inside edges of the window felt channel to help it go up and down smoother. I had tought about doing a video on this installation at the time. I also did the window frame inserts and felt restoration on Randy Gates split window some years ago. And this week I am doing another set of window channels for Brad Thompson from Irvine which Buddy Hale is doing a restoration on his 1950 split window. Any other question please let me know.

Your windows in the '54 were smooth, Frenchy. I remember you let me try them out at the Pavillions one night... 10 1/2 turns gives you a little exercise!
