Title: Repro sheetmetal tip...
Post by: hotrod68 on April 07, 2008, 03:58:58 AM
   Here's a heads-up that may save someone some aggravation  I had to use new Goodmark doors on my '68 and when I tried to adjust the windows it was a nightmare. I spent literally hours trying to get the RS window to fit the weatherstrip and align with the roof rail, but no matter how I adjusted it, it would not raise up high enough in the back to fit right. Also, the front edge of the glass would hit the door.
   It turned out that the slots for the window cam had been punched a good one inch off the mark and had to be elongated, and I had to grind the door for clearance where the front of the window passes up out of the door. Hope this helps someone!

sometimes good used doors would have been better

I cringe every time I read one of these reports.  You would think that after all this time, they could get it right. I have rust issues on my 67 too, but am going to save as much original as possible. That means hand fitting patch panels, but oh well. Thanks for the report........ ;)
