Cool project, i like Mario's GMC.

**G&R's57GMC** · 03-25-2013, 10:55 AM

Great build !

Here's what I did on my '56.
I added '57 car rubber tips to protect the fragile bullets .
I don't know if the recess is deep enough on the '57 bullets to allow the rubber to set deep enough to seal the edges.

Surprised you could not sell the Vette back window, look like an expensive piece for someone to replace.
