In the 60's you would see racers pull the door glass and operators. Replace it with 1/8" plex with a piece of a leather belt pop riveted to the bottom on the drivers side. Screw in the window sill grabbed a hole at each end of the leather for up and down positions. Other side glass was just screwed in place.
