I have thin gauge stainlessand a brake, I will  make them then I will post a pix . I hope you will critique them for me when complete , thank you , Achmed

[daytonalo]

I have the dimensions , can someone please tell me if the ends are rolled over , I could really use a close up of the a-pillar

[dads_69]

Larry, if you have a stainless brake. Do you plan on making any more for us cloners? $500.00. Damn, that seems a but high for something none stock. But then again, whats cheap about our mopars we're building.

Will this help?

[Ghoste]

And a little closer.  This is an unrestored car btw.

[daytonalo]

Those photos are a great help .It would be greatly appreciated if you could supply very close-ups of all 4 sides , I need to know if the top, bottom and glass side are rolled over or just bent @ 90 degrees

Try these out... 

[daytonalo]

Again , thank you GENE, sorry to be a pest but what are the measurements on the flanges and where do those tabs on the front edge fasten to ?

[daytonalo]

Gene , those tabs , do they just slip in between gaskit and pillar ? I don't see how they can be screwed in place with the windshield and gaskit in place .I doubt that creative pulled the glass to install , I could be wrong , what do you think ? Larry

[Ghoste]

Was front and rear glass installed when the cars arrived at Creative?  (knowing they'd have to pull the back anyway and time being of the essence, they may have skipped that step on the line at Dodge Main?)

[daytonalo]

You might be correct

[nascarxx29]

The only difference between the daytona apillars which have hidden screws & going into the windshield gasket.And superbird ones and the way they are screwed on

[Ghoste]

So if they were screwed down, do you know if they knocked the windshield out during the conversion or arrived without one?

[nascarxx29]

It looks like the went throught the gasket.Then had some type of putty to hide the screw heads.As they rushed to get these cars out .Pulling the glass would have been more and double the work.When you pushing out cars in time to get them qualified

[daytonalo]

I am aware of the visible screws on s-b , I need to know if the inside tabs have screws or are they just sandwiched between gasket and body . Has anyone out there ever removed a pair or installed a pair with the glass installed ?

[daytonalo]

Its impossible for the screws to go thru th gasket , because of the type of locking rubber utilized by Chrysler in that era . It may have been screwed in then the gaskit may have been reinstalled.

[nascarxx29]

You cant get the top bottom or side pieces of chrome off with them on.

[Ghoste]

Well the time factor is why I was wondering if they just left the front and rear glass out before shipping them to the subcontractor.

[daytonalo]

your daytona was the only one that I have seen that had butyl sealent gobbed along the pillar stainless, Maybe the car had a ws installed and the glass co couldn't figure out how to get them off.I installed auto glass for 5 years and I know how it is when new models come , you just had to wing it !

[nascarxx29]

They were a 69 charger RT and sat outside before conversion.They needed to be runable and water tight .Pictures are on the warrior page .My 440 daytona had evidence of glue being on the regular charger back window opening.Before back window conversion

[daytonalo]

Thats because they cover over the top and bottom mouldings . Has anyone ever installed a pair with glass installed ?

[nascarxx29]

My car had the original penstar logo found in center of the glass.Windshield was never out.And back glass had the 696 .Which deciphers 6 of 1969 .For a car with a 606 build date

[Ghoste]

You're sure that Chrysler didn't ship a stack of windshields over?  Come to think of it, on a related note, does the rear glass have a Pentastar?
