Short story is, you have to drill 4 holes in your frame, and drill out two rivets that attach a mounting bracket to the cross frame of the non swing window so you can re-use it

(Edit: the benefit of this is you get to keep your aluminum frames. 65-67 were made of brass, and 68 was a one year only aluminum vent window for the coupe, so if you can find those then you’re golden. I originally planned to just have my brass ones blasted and powder coated. But the mounting holes didn’t line up perfectly, and I didn’t want to modify my door. It’s very close but I wasn’t satisfied with the fit. I feel like this is a great alternative. I’ll probably just vinyl wrap what very little chrome I have seeing as it is minor).

Ive been wanting to do this. Have you been able to match the glass green tint from the ‘86? Where did you source the vent window frame, etc?
