Here are some better pictures of the glass situation.. I will be tweeking the bottom rear corner of the quarter glass, just havent had time yet.. For these pictures I taped off the bare metal around the windows and drip rails, it gives a much better idea of what is going on.. I also, set in the roughed in flush mount windshield pattern, and I must say, it makes a huge difference in the car.  

I would like your opinions on if you think the Flush Mount Glass takes away from the car.. Again, no body mods, they just glue in, so there is nothing bad done to a pristine car. Personally, I think it just refines a car that was built to the standards of its day.. I really think that if this type of install technology was available then, they would have done something similar.. One other thing to consider again, No more water leaks for the gaskets.

When I remove the gaskets in my car, they were crammed with so much epoxy and other harder materials that were obviously put there to help with the leaks.. I had to chisel it all out of the channel and off the outer panels of the car where the weatherstrip over-lapped.
