the passenger side got cut off. the initial test fit went very well.
I will get pics next week, but as far as the sheetmetal goes, it is as straight forward as possible. The windows will be trickier, but not hard. Most likely, it will get the sedan vent window, lenghtened door window, and a removable quarter window. No post, so when the windows are down/out, it will be open from vent window to cargo window. Its not as I originally envisioned, but it will be cool.

Forget the dang camera again. Did some window fitting. Had to pull the quarter vent window from the original door to match the a-pillar angle. This changes the angle on the door window, but no probem, and we have to have a window made to make up for the height difference as well. Same story with the rear window, it will need to be longer and taller. But it looks like it will all come together and have post-less windows. Will definately not forget the camera next week.

Re: progress
How come you don't lower the top to get the smooth hardtop look?
I'm sure you've seen this wagon http://www.cardomain.com/ride/2509270
it was made from a hardtop. I do like all the info your posting, please keep it up!

Tell me more about the yard you pulled the donor from. I've got a buddy looking hard for the cab and front doghouse for a '56 COE, a Big Job would be a plus. Looks like you're way up north and west, Montanaish. _________________ Larry Hampton

I am up in Severance Colorado. The yard is outside of Greeley. Lots of vintage stuff.
