Getting the glass is not a big deal. Make a cardboard template of the opening. Play around with it and trim to fit the opening with about the same overlap as a normal window. The trick is to get the bottom portion of the window just right. Use the bottom of the original window as a guide so you know how deep it has to go. Take it to a glazing shop, and voila, within about a week, they will have the glass cut for you.

As for the guys who like your vent windows, great. Thats the great thing about this hobby, we can all have different tastes, and its OK.

In addition to the look, another reason I did it was to reduce weight. Remember, glass doors, fenders, and a big *** 460 with an aluminum top end.

HP246, Do you have any pictures? Or anyone else? Would love to see

HP246, I don't have a 460 but I spent the last two weekends stripping an E350 with a V10 for the future drive train swap

I wish we still had floor vents too. My 65 Mustang has them and I love those.
