Well I have been idle for a while due to some medical issues in the family. Just got back to work. I finally finished up the inner support system for the sail panels. I really wanted to do this because I feel this is maybe the way the factory would have done it if the window plug had not been an aftermarket afterthought. This also gets rid of a few pounds of excess metal. Since the 06 is a 5,000 lb car and this old body is not lighter that the 06 I felt any weight savings would help performance.
I capped off the stock gas hole in favor of using the side mount door from the 06 mainly because while I love the way the cap on the 68 looks I am not a fan of drizzling gas on the quarter panel if I can help it. Also I don't have one. icon_smile_big
The last two pictures are of the piece I had to make to replace the flange that holds the window wiskers. Lucky for me the other side was intact so that I had a good hole pattern to follow.
