Hi, Anybody out there ever replaced the vent wing set-up with a single side glass? I've been toying with the idea but I'm not sure how to go about it. This is on a 65 vert. I think it would really clean up the lines of the car. Any input would be great, Thanks.

Later, Murf

Ive actually thought about the opposite, putting vent windows on my 72 of a 4 door or elco donor. I was told it wouldnt work.

You can do something else though..
Just take a door out of a 1968 2dr hardtop, remove the skin anf put a 70-72 skin on it....
And there you have it... A 1972 door with a vent window :)

How would you install a 70-2 skin on a 68-69 door shell?
The body lines are tottally different from door to door.
You would have to cut-weld, graft parts of the 70-2 door shell to the 68-9 shell to acheive the proper shape for the 70-2 skin to fit.
Basically its trying to fit a circle into triangle

The vent post on a 68 door is removable. Just remove the window workings and transfer them into the 72 door
