does anyone have any tips on a kit i can get to do away with my vent windows

You could use 73/74 doors and do the same thing. I'm not sure if you could just install 73/74 glass but you might be able to. I've never seen a kit. The vent assy just unbolts out of the door frame.

sorry my car is a 1967 ss should have told you guys

Nobody makes a kit. It's all scratch built and self engineered.

I kind of wonder why someone touting the originality factor of "True 118" would want to get rid of the vent windows?

vent windows

my car is a second owner ss and im keeping the original look but making a nice driver I just like the look without the vent windows

I think it would be cool. Clean it up a little.

the only thing i don't like about the vent windows is they get in my way when i got my arm out the window.
i've been thinking about removing mine too.
figure it can't be that hard of a thing to do

I'm sure Shane will chime in again but from what I've been told when you delete the vent window the integrity of the inner and outer door skin suffers unless you completely re-engineer the door contsruction.

There is a tab joining the inner and outer door skins. That must be removed and the door does loose some rigidity. If the car is a hardtop or converitble, then you now have a bigger problem. The glass is trimmed with chrome along the top and back of the window. The trim meets the vent window and with the vent window gone there isn't anybody that makes that (or any) trim to continue the look for the new 1 peice glass. Another problem is the door handle(at least on the 62-65) on the inside of the car is in the way for the 1 piece glass to lower all the way. Relocate the door handle means also custom making door panels for the relocated door handle. A sedan is do-able but not very easily.

i came this close .. to doing this and then chickened out.. hahaha... wish i would of done it now. shane didn't you have pictures of how you did yours at one point - someone did - i saw em... used factory door handle made the bar u-shaped inside the door on a hardtop this would be easier ... that car is so badass dude

I never did pictures of it. I did reply to a number of people who PM'd me and explained the dropped inner door handle solution.
