RE: [MarcosManiacs] Re: 1600 GT side window help.

Good morning, Greg,
I have found most of the materials foe the lifts and thanks to            I know where to purchase the springs. The tubing, plate, bolts and hardware add up to 65.45. I will get the cost for water jet cutting the cams and the welding of the assembly the first of next week. They are on vacation until Aug. 8th.
No charge for the blue print design and layout. There will be a 20.00/ hour final assy charge. Should not take more than 3 or 4 hrs.
If this is acceptable, I will order the materials in.

Greg,
I do not have any estimate on the cost. I hve to design  the best way to build it as the original is made of press formed steel. Have considered molding it from KEVLAR  or cutting, machining and welling the components.
I am trying to recourse the spring at the present.
Will keep you informed.

Larry, that would be fantastic.  Any idea about the cost to do so?  Thanks. Greg

Evening, Greg,
I have the use of a window lift to use as a pattern.  It has been loaned to me by Dave Mensh. Do you still need a pair of lifts? If so, I will start blueprinting so I can fabricate the unit.

Ah, Larry I wish I knew the answer. Frankly, I'm so frustrated that the otherwise fantastic car has begun to loose its attraction for me. It's been about 5 years in progress, and there is light at the end of the tunnel, but I'm almost ready to throw in the towel. It's a late '68 and totally stock. The restorer lost the glass on the right side, and the window lift mechanisms for both sides. Guessing the window shape won't change, but I don't know which shape to tell you. I do have the original frames. But have yet to figure out how they mount. I'll try the early corvette lift mechanisms. Again, thanks for your help. Greg
