Wow, Robert! I LOVE the 65 'nanner panel truck! No, I have not seen that around town. I definitely would remember that one.<br><br>Steve, I'm with you on keeping the vent windows. I recall a time when having those meant my Bug was air conditioned (by flipping them around to force air into the car).<br><br>I converted the windows on my 69 Baja to the Cal Look and regretted it, so I fabricated duct work from the front and into the cabin for better airflow through the interior.

Where in the heck is that "we're not worthy!" emoticon when it's needed? Wow! You have some serious brass ones doing the front beam yourself. I rewired my entire car (the '69 Baja) from bumper to bumper, did the whole interior from scratch, including speaker system with custom covers, but I still wussed out when it came to an adjustable beam up front. I bought a ready-made, along with dropped spindles (I forgot to mention mine was a street Baja that sometimes went off road, but was so low that didn't happen often).<br><br>Seeing that you'll be keeping the vent windows (cleavage coolers), you really do need bit** windows in the rear (pop-out quarter windows). I was thinking I may still have a pair of those in storage but they'd be the wrong era with the later model hardware. I think the 59s had an ivory knob, but I could be wrong.<br>
