3000s windowframes
Discussion
After restoring the 3000s,I am at the stage off the windowframes,
One off them looks bad.
Now I am considering off making a set,they are not to be found and not cheap !
Next step,would there be more interested in a set as making them in bigger amount could make
it cheaper,
Unless someone has a stock allready,would not want to offend other sellers,
So far I have 3 sets needed(people who could do with new set),could do them in steel to be chromed,stainless polished,steel to be painted,
ps:my profession is metal-sheetworker so I have some experience in platework,
thanks,
Rudy

Thanks for the replys so far,
fitting will be the main thing as not all cars are the same,
small adjustments will be needed?
spigots are the most important,working on a way to make them adjustable?
skirt can touch the body when opening doors,also an issue to account for?
stainless ones can be adjusted by grinding,the chromed ones should adjusted before the chromework?
will keep you posted!

The bended corner is the most difficult part,so far ,so good.
Next is to make the larger pieces and cut the corners,after checking the other frames first!

Very very nice.
I like people who can make good things with their hands (after they have been thinking first of course).
I know a car without the window frames.
Should go and look (and buy) it.
Keep the good work going Rudy.
