Yeah the bright yellow one is when I brought it home the yellow primer one next to the orange one is it today, so far I have replaced the trunk pan, new wheel wells, firewall, all the inside guts of the doors, window frame and door latches back to stock but the chop is the worst. I'm ok with...

Thanks for all the comments guys, I would lower the seat area but its already touching the frame at that spot and the drive shaft loop is almost on the floor. I think its like you guys said its time for a different body. He said the chop was done back in the 60's and its a nice job, just not for...

Thanks thats what I needed to see, I have to cut the visor off mine to get it out and cut out the old bondo that is on the top insert, the previous owner cut out the strip were the wood mounts in and made the roof solid and welded the visor on. Any thoughts on what could be used to replace the...

I traded for this coupe and after I got it on the frame its a 6 inch chop. I can't even put a riser under the seat its mounted flat in the floor and I still don't have any head room. How hard would it be to reverse the chop?

Can anyone show how the wood header mounts in the car? finally got the doors and trunk straightened out on my coupe but now I am trying to figure out how the wood header goes in the car. Any pictures would be great. I have a small L shaped piece of metal running from one side to the other with...

Does anyone have photos of how the inside of the trunk was supposed to look factory? Mine was butchered over the years and not sure how much of the inside is factory. Also any pictures of how the wheel well is supposed to look? How far away from the body its supposed to be. Any help is...

Thanks for all the help got to get the door parts on tonight and it all worked out nice, but the strike plate mount and cut out were it sits was gone but after a little work got everything to close nice and smooth and stay closed tight, just have to make one more piece and its done. Thanks again...

ok when I get it installed I will see thanks again

Thanks, That helps a lot, how does the rod for the inside door attach to the latch thou, I still don't see that, I have a new latch and rod here but were I would think they attach it does go in the latch any where. The rod has a long slot on the end for the latch does it attach direct to it or...

I think its still there, I just think someone has welded a piece over it to fill in the hole. I am going to try to just drill in the center were I think it should be and see if its still there. How does the inside door handle work? I bought new latches, rods and handles but haven't started to...

thanks that definatly helps! The striker plate hole has been filled in so I have to cut that back out and then figure how the female dovetail goes back in the door, or what I have to remove to make it work again.

I am trying to put the original door latches and dove tails back in a coupe that someone butchered and put bear claw latches in and was hoping someone could help with some photos of placement for them(male and female dovetails, and how the interior door handle installs and the strike plate for...

here are some more pictures, hopefully these are better

ok here is the window frame, what do you guys think?

I'll take a picture tomorrow night and let you see it, I think it is a 31 but they cut the hinge part off the top of it.

Thanks Skibb, that hinge doesn't resemble mine what you is your car? The hinge I got for my 31 is just flat then the curve.

The frame is metal and yes its chopped and fit the window opening correctly. So I don't want to replace if I can keep from it.

Thanks to Curt and everyone that's commented on my post. From the pictures that Curt sent me my window frame has had the part that the hinge slides into cut off. I can see a not so straight line were it was cut and theres nothing to connect the hinge too. So I am going to have to find a new top...

Ok I might be missing something on my window frame. Does the flat section bolt to the wood? and the curved piece of the hinge connect to the window frame? My frame was just screwed into the body with a couple sheet metal screws when I got the body, I bought the hinge, arms and nuts and screws to...

O.k. I see how the hinge piece bolts to the window frame after removal of the window but how does the hinge attach to the car?
