The rear quarter panel glass area was "reworked" to accept safety glass.

The side window frames have window glass channel, power windows that travel all the way down to the top of the door skin.

Power actuators to pop open the front doors.

All work was performed "in house" at Last Chance Auto Restore.com in Yarker, Ontario Canada.

We will post some YouTube Videos showing what they look and work like.......
