I need to toot my own horn.  I just cant believe it.
    I have been practicing quite a bit and spending a lot of time over
    at" MetalMeet".com  and have managed to rebuild all the rotten rear
    window trough of my 64 dodge with new metal, lots of spot weld
    drilling and paper patterns, head scratching and a couple dead ends 
    but i have brought a rear window area around that four weeks ago I
    thought was hopeless. And it was all done with simple brakes,
    hammers, shrinking hammers, a huge vise, some slappers and a few
    home built tools. No english wheels (not yet at least, hee,hee, next
    on my tool list!).
   I had to  drill out the spot welds  for the trunk hinge brackets and
   temporarily remove the trunk hinges and t-bars to gain access to the
   area.
   the bottom trough was swiss cheese and the cancer had completely
   eaten away the lip the  window gasket rides on . this cancer also 
   had eaten away at the passenger side of the rear window area. 
   I have been  foto-documenting this whole project and when i figure
   out how I will link you guys  up if u are  interested.
   I have been staring at this rear window for  8 months with a queasy
   feeling in my stomach "wondering" if i could do it, but doing nothing
   about it. When i actually began it instantly became much easier and I
   could 
'clearly"  see what needed to be done, the fear and worry is worse than
the actual undertaking, which I am finding applies to many things in
life.
    I just love these old cars.
