I felt like they s/b pointing to the front vs to the back or down, but the clearance between the body beltline is close- easy to scratch the paint. Pointing down allieviates that but it may look weird. COMMENTS?

I believe the stock orientation is horizontal but it's your ride. If you like them different who's to say you're wrong. ohwell

i was concerned that they may scrape the body bulge, but simply put one washer behind the handle end to shim it out. Looks and works well. Now all I need to do us install the windlace/track and hope the glass fits.

I like them pointing forward which is original. You can check the pictures in the gallery.

I'd rather walk and carry a Chevy hub cap than ride in a Ferd.

If yours are too close to the bodyline, it may be due in part to 76 years of wear. They should point forward, anything else would look silly in my opinion. I'm glad you figured it out.
