@rektautomotive3483 2 месяца назад

@CaseysCustoms what about using 2 windshields from slightly newer chevys (like a 53) where they went 1 piece, cut both long and you keep your centre join but with 2 wider pieces that surely are close to the right shape ✌️

Look for a windshield about the right width from any car/truck and integrate that window frame/windshield into your body. I have seen this done for widened MGBs using a US 60s pickup truck windshield. If it is one piece you could make a fake divider for it if that's a big part of the look you're going for.

@thedudeabides8046 2 месяца назад

I was just about to say almost the exact same thing , Casey listen to this guy!

@Coltbrown 2 месяца назад

I had the same idea, I think this would be a super unique thing that nobody's done on RU-vid. On top of that you could measure the width that you need and then ask your viewers to post the width of their windshields and of what they're off. It would be like crowdsourcing your build. 66 c10 about 67"

@sirroundsound9104 2 месяца назад

@T-bird_Johnny 2 месяца назад

Yeah I was wondering if a tri-5 chevy windshield would have similar curves but be wide enough also.

@bskbishop 2 месяца назад

same thought here... find another vehicle with a windshield that is "closer" and graft that in

@rogerwhite3644 2 месяца назад

How about a donor windshield off something wide enough?? With the frame part holding the glass.(donor)

@DaleVanEpps-gw8xh 2 месяца назад

Hey Casey, I love your 50 Chevy project. The only thought I have for your windshield delema is using two '54 windshields and cut them 4" long on oposite sides. Since they are one peice you would still have a seam in the middle. Just a thought. Keep up the awsome content. Dale.

@jonpeters8344 2 месяца назад

This was my thought, a early 50’s Olds is one piece, and sits in the existing corners. Overlap in the middle, to counter the roll or crown of the glass, you could tuck the sides back a little farther than original, helping with the v-butt.

@darrellhardin775 2 месяца назад

Measure width needed in glass Then find glass with the length and Curve needed from car in junkyard Then build your frame around new glass. 60’s 70’s glass wider

@shawnknight421 2 месяца назад

I think 2 54 windshields without the splint in the middle would work for that front windshield and cut them to fit

@robjupin6457 2 месяца назад

use two front windows to make one. take one window and at the center point cut it 3inches to the left of center and then on the other cut it 3inches to the right. that will allow the window to line up and the sides and then it will allow the center of the window to be covered by the trim

@ravinloon58 2 месяца назад

How about taking a trip to the junk yard with a tape measure... there is bound to be a 50s car with a wider screen and a similar curve. Harvest the whole area Screen and surround and make your life easier.

@mvdesigncustomworks5460 2 месяца назад

widen the center pillar a little and split the rest of the widening between both sides.

@richardbrowne3641 2 месяца назад

Cassey, for the windshields, look into R.V. Camper windshield. Class A R.V. windshields have curves in them. I think maybe a Ford Class B windshield could work if you widened the front and rear windshields. You just have to cut them down to hight and with. An 1989 Internation cab over tractor truck windshield might work too. Another idea is finding two front and rear windshields each and cut them to fit the side and use the straight pieces for the center pieces with two dividers between the curve and straight pieces. You can cut both front windshields to center. Fill the gap with clear silicon and a center devider. The rear window would have two deviders.

@tayloralvidrez4342 2 месяца назад

Ditch the factory windshield frame, since it doesn't fit at all. Use complete custom lexon windshield. My buddy did on his 55 Chevy pickup. He thought it would yellow/fog and need replaced every 6 months but it still looked good after several years. Lexon isn't solid, so you can easily give it a slight curve. He held in place with sheet metal screws (oh he did this because a factory replacement windshield was like a thousand bucks. Actually I think it was plexiglass and only cost like under 50 bucks)

Cut the windshield surround, and add 2 pillars to the outside of the center glass 1 in the middle. Try to find a Pontiac waterfall hood trim to fill the center. It should all line up and look mint! 👌

Breath Cassy! Lol it's coming along great thanks for sharing with us.

@craigbowley6783 2 месяца назад

Those wheels actually look good on that.

@red_3dp981 2 месяца назад

I am definitely of the opinion of widening the windshield. You may be able to find a windshield from a car of that same era that is close to the size you need and you can try widening the frame, but shrinking the part where the window actually sits. Plus you may be able to keep that trim down the middle like it currently does. But keep up the great work man!

@chrissimes9445 2 месяца назад

The trunk hinges DO need to move out, because when you split the trunk lid in the middle, the hinges will spread. So when you cut the bottom outside pieces of the back window frame, include the hinges. That will make the filler piece straighter as well.

@toddgeeslin2190 2 месяца назад

You do some crazy s#*t, but I love it. Your imagination is on another level. The swaps you do are great and show that nearly anything is possible. Keep up the great work!!

@73Bugman 2 месяца назад

Casey, widen the windshield frame to fit the original A-pillar and have a new one piece curved windshield cut down from a more modern car. There are good glass people who can do this. I’m hoping this car comes out as a canyon carving monster!

@FrauUnibrow 2 месяца назад

Regarding the windshield, if you got a split screen surround from a late 40’s early 50’s car that used flat glass you could widen it easily and just get two pieces of flat glass cut to fit the new dimensions. . Custom guys often do this when chopping these 49-54 GM’s , saves the hassle and expense of cutting the curved glass windshield when doing a top chop .

@kaostheory3272 2 месяца назад

@V8nut100 2 месяца назад

Casey Widen the frame, get another windshield, then cut them both so each side is longer then join them in the center

@WhitentonMike 2 месяца назад

Since the windshield is split down the middle anyway so what if it has 2 center posts with a flat rectangle between. I think the determining factor there is whether the center split is flat from top to bottom so the center glass is flat too. The C-pillars being wide doesn't really matter too much.

@Axial_Andrew 2 месяца назад

Widen the front windshield frame, keep the center frame for a seam. Find two windshields, cut each one to where the extra length is in the center, cover the seam with the factory trim...🤠

@nickhattler8236 2 месяца назад

Maybe do the Pontiac Chieftain Waterfall on the hood? Sort of a "feature it" approach to the hood. You're on your own with the rest of the widening

@Adrenalsky2 2 месяца назад

Use the frame of the windshield to match the A pillar. Change the cowl and make it so you can put you own straight glass in it. After you chop the top it wouldn’t look out of place.

@SpankysHotRodsandCustoms 2 месяца назад

Get it done brother. Thanks for sharing -Spanky

@talleneagle1974 2 месяца назад

Have you ever tried to leave the A pillars in with the original front window on the donor body and graf the old bodies to the newer front glass it would be less work i would think. Just use the part of the A pillar on the 50s car that the door seals to and graft it to the A pillar to the newer car just cut the door seal out of it and just cover the top to the shape you need.

@CaseysCustoms 2 месяца назад

I’ve seen it done and I’ve never liked how it looks. Makes it look like an “old car body kit” to me. But that’s just my opinion

@jcgergely-jg5hs 2 месяца назад

Re: widening windshield. Some of the senior GM windshields (Olds, Buick) of that body style were one piece. Maybe getting two of them, cutting both to get the needed width, them using the Chevy two piece center strip to join them would work.

@Mrfishoutofwater69 2 месяца назад

Definitely split it. The curves matching on the metal and keeping the thin pillars is gonna look way better Casey!

@greggsvintageworkshop8974 2 месяца назад

Great build Casey, it is really coming together. I would split it use a flat center and just have two skinny center posts. I think it will look cool!

@michaelheaton4526 2 месяца назад

For the windshield get another window frame for the door pillars then use a standard window frame and make fill in panels on the side

@whatsgoingon1011 2 месяца назад

Casey,,for the rear window, you should look into using the rear glass from the 55-57 chevys as i believe they are wider. Another thought is using the rear windows(three pieces) from a 57 Oldsmobile Super 88.

@natesmemes1794 2 месяца назад

*You already know the answer to fitting the windshield Casey, you are going to have to section it in so it looks right and either use lexan or find another windshield that will work*

@whatsgoingon1011 2 месяца назад

Casey, I have an Idea on how to fill the center gap in the hood and the truck. 1952 Pontiac Chieftain used either a stainless steel or chrome waterfall style accent that went down the center of the hood and truck. Which would help tie the Pontiac G8 to the outside body line.

@francisrizzo1529 2 месяца назад

A 1950s Pontiac waterfall trim would fill that hood gap perfectly... And I vote stock windshield.

@VirginiaMaker 2 месяца назад

For the windshield, try and get 2, one piece windshields for the 1st year they switched on that model, and cut one end off each one. One left and one right. Leave them long of corse.

@mikeyp911 2 месяца назад

Cut the glass at both ends just past the curve and put a huge middme piece in. Still a 3 piece but 2 small ends and 1 big one in the middle.

@rollingsculpture2413 2 месяца назад

Maybe pull the door tops in slightly at the front so they're on a slight angle meeting the windshield? Not sure is this would actually work or not though. Looking great!👍

@spazmcgillacutty 2 месяца назад

The 2 pieces of trim could work and look really cool with the right pinstripe design on the hood

@skaughtmc6591 2 месяца назад

Embrace the weird - cut the windshield in half, and fill the center section with stained glass (find a local artist to make a cool piece for it).

@workingmansrestorations7071 2 месяца назад

For the windshield, how bout walking a junkyard and try to find another car that is similar but wider and cut the whole frame out like you did with this one... car is looking real good and is going to be fast af when done

On the windshield take the center piece out before you widen it up and then put it back in the center when you get it widen up

@johnoneal1999 2 месяца назад

Chop the roof first, then try both windshields, especially that rear window!! It might even fit without messing with the glass (more lean)

@nathansmith891 2 месяца назад

Maybe you could get 2 one-piece windshields and make a 2 piece with them? If you chop the top, you could maybe sink the windshield so you are taking the height out of the bottom instead of the top. Not sure how much the glass tapers top to bottom.

@DennisMurphey 2 месяца назад

This could be my favorite series, at first i thought you had a GTO chassis then I remembers the G8 Sedan, I had a 2015 SS from Australia with an LSA Supercharger and it was a beast. You should search for an LSA to put on this thing. And I alway like the 50 Chevy cars and trucks. No idea it was so narrow. Give it a sleek long, Right. Great concept, Dennis Thinking can you widen the hood on the sides instead of the center. And add a A Pillar glass corner so you have 2 thin A Pillars split by a flat glass that gives you visibility with a wide pillar. Good Luck. D
