I hadn’t given too much thought to the windows on this figuring they would just drop into the Monte Carlo doors, in fact I was just going to leave the windows in the old El Camino doors until it was time for final assembly. I went to put the doors somewhere out of the way last weekend when I was reminded never to assume.
The back of the El Camino windows angle forward quite a bit more than the Monte windows did. To make up for this the inner sweeps are wider, more forward and there is a guide pin added to the rear of the sweep. A couple hours with a cut of wheel, MIG and die grinder and that little job was done.I've NEVER seen a car come from the factory that couldn't be improved.....
