no, but that can happen with a severely strong wind no matter how strong the hinges are. I have seen that happen to many cars and trucks on the eastern slope of the rockies the only problem with not having the hinge spring is it will not have a place to hold itself open if you are on a hill on if it...

aggie, there are positives to having wing windows as well. I used to enjoy having them cracked open on cold rainy days to let the glass stay fog free without gathering alot of water inside. this is where the vent visors now come into play on later model vehicles, they serve the same purpose. Also th...

Thanks Shawn. I have those tools and I imagine you get some skinned up arms also. Ill order the glass from Bob and the power windows they sell were high Ill get those elsewhere.

Greg I will try to do that. I usually do stuff as I go and never think about a "how to" that is why my steering column story didnt turn out so great rofl. It really is not hard to do the work to make the windows fit, just clearing out the hinge pocket and getting the glass to move up and d...

Air or Air Fuel Mix does not flow in a rectangular column. All ports intake & exhaust use rectangular configuration. FE was out of date when they designed it in 1954 & '55, or introduced them in 1958 and they are still out of date. I spent many many hours and and many many many dollars and ...

And you obviously do not know muvch about mustangs either when you think they will not fit into a slick, yet I proved you wrong and backstep your answer with some freaking lie, and telling me a 67 seat is the same as a 64-66. I can bolt my 69 bucket in my slick and it will actually fit even better t...

OK, I've read enough. Go to Mid Atlantic Chapter and check out "Bettys getting surgery again". The guy I bought them from said they were from a 65 ambulance. I covered them with 68 covers. So they are 68 bucket seats, fit real good. I am 5'7" and they are very comfortable. My son is ...
