Hmmm, coming back to this thread I hadn't considered having the original frames chromed and redone with new glass.

If anyone has done this and has photos of the reassembly process I think we'd all love to see them. Ironically, when I was still planning to drive my truck while I redid it I bought new wing window glass and the rivet kit...so I suppose I MAY be the one to do this and document it!

EDIT: Roger, our posts just crossed. I'd never heard of "Auto City Classics". I'm going to go search for em now!
