Did you have to fabricate a new rear window channel for the lower part of it? If so who did you have build it for you? These cars always seem to be rusted there.

I had to weld in new pieces for about half of the lower channel, including both corners. The upper and sides were fine. Just have to take your time making templates with cardboard. I found using a dremel to help with more precise cuts on the pieces.

Nice work. I can't do bodywork to save my life. To me it is an art form, you either have it or you don't.

This was the top portion which looks like a Frankenstein concoction for some reason.

Was your Fury FP6(?) Frosted Teal Metallic originally?

 

[70Tom]

Here's on of the quarter right before cutting. Really, the whole thing should have been replaced but I had to make due with what I was able to obtain and had.

Davea Lux, here's a few pics of the channel pre-repair. It's hard to see the holes with the shadows.

Yes it was. Looking forward to seeing it back in it's former glory with white vinyl top.
