Re: Starcrafter65's 1968 Holiday Goes Open Bow!
Dusting off the old thread as I am doing the unthinkable - the Holiday is going to become open bow!:facepalm: As with certain things in life - there have been technological advances since 1968 - and one is the open bow. I am not going to move the windshield as far back as the SS's though as I think the dash farther up = better lines:
Typically you see the dash all the way back to the start of the middle rubrail - I have loosened the windsheild - pulled the tape out and I am going to move it back about 8-10 inches - which I actually think looks better than the Holiday placement.
I gotta say I was full of trepidation whipping out the buzz saw to chop the top off - but here she is. I plan to try to make things as "stock" as possible - I think the bigger challenge will be forming the aluminum angle to meet the inside curve. The above work doesn't involve a whole lot of technology but I will try to show step by step.
Other off season tweaks will include a stereo and I might redo the floor vinyl.
