Title: One Piece Windows Post by: louisb on June 11, 2007, 19:42:32 pm So is there actually a good one piece window kit out there? I know it is possible since a lot of the hot rods run them.

anyone tried electric 1-piece window kit? regards Oldschool Title: Re: One Piece Windows Post by: Georg/DFL on June 11, 2007, 21:43:03 pm Our club member Dirk just fitted a one pice window kit (have to ask him, where he bought it) and he is still not to happy with the result regarding finishing touches. Looks are great, but it must be a pain in the a... to install them. AND: it's a '67, I haven't seen kits for pre '65 cars - or are they also available?
Title: Re: One Piece Windows Post by: louisb on June 11, 2007, 21:57:23 pm You can get kits for '64 and earlier. (I think you have to use the '65 and later window mechanism though.) From that I have seen looking around the kits seem to be pretty poor quality. This was all brought up because this month's Street Rodder covers installing one piece windows in a '40 ford. The kit they used was very nice and included all new parts.
