Yessir. Essentially just stretching the center window to (almost) meet the corner windows. I don't know if it would really look all that good, in reality. Just a thought that popped into my little pea brain.

I see that the AD would require opening up the center glass to match the side glass.

Three or four years later, Chevrolet was offering the big back window that is so popular now.

Call me old school. I like frame horns. Model A and 55 Chevy come to mind.

I know it's been a while since I posted on this.
Got the frame back from powder coat today and started assembling the parts.
The color is hammered silver thread which looks a lot like dark stainless and the attached parts are semi gloss black.
Keep in mind the customer didn't want any welds ground down so they all get left, even on the body.
LOL, the green shocks are now black and the well fed young man is my youngest grandson who has been working with me for the past year.
