Wow, GP is most difficult vinyl top delete!

[motorholmes]

I seem to do this with every car I buy. Somehow I pick the most difficult ones. :?

The rain sill on these is unlike the regal/cutty cuz it goes all the way to the rear of the quarter window. On the vinyl top models it stops at the driver door glass. So I've gotta weld a rain sill to do it right?
I gotta say though, I do like the design better! It just looks cool

Anybody have a link to a build-up? There must be one somewhere

yup 78-80 regals are the same way. i had to do weld mine. all i did was find a junk yard car and cut a portion out of its drip rail and welded in place. finally after the past 10 years i finally found the full length drip rail from a hard top and the molding between the 2 windows since mine had rivet holes in them.

The 78 to 80 Lemans with a Landau top is the same way also. I have an even worse problem because my side windows are smaller too.

I got all the parts you need if interested.

What do you want for it and do you think it will survive the ride to Minnesota? WOW 10 seconds is COOKIN! That's one fast Cutty

I'm going junkyard snooping tomorrow morning. More looking for my LS swap parts than anything, but also going to try to track down a GP

yup, 80 cutlass is the same thing. i think all g bodys are the same pretty much. i found all the trim parts i needed off another member on here plus a pair of tail lights for $120 shipped.
