Has anyone put the early AD door glass in the 52 to 54 doors? I have two great doors but they have the vent windows which i don't want to use. what modifications do i need to do?

Can I ask why you don’t want the vents? They are really nice in the Texas heat when you don’t have air conditioning.

I assume just take vents off, change the glass, new seals, etc. I don’t think it would be difficult.

I love my vent windows. I guess they took them off when air became standard on most cars or to save money but I love mine and think they look cool on an AD.

We use the vent window removal kit sold by Hagan Street Rod Parts. Not just a quickie one day project.

Evan,
Is this the kit?
Is this also needed?

I guess I was wrong, I figured it would be an easy flip over! I honestly love my vent windows as well.

I'm trying to keep the 49 look and will have AC in truck I just noticed that the door frame around the pivot point has a different shape in in . Just wondering if it is cut and weld on inner door in that area. Also thanks Evan for the Hagan connection they have a lot of components i have been looking for.

Tim,
We just get the $125 kit since we have all the tools to make any reinforcing parts.

bwilliams,
The notch for the vent post in the door and in the window garnish molding need a patch welded in for a good finished look. I guess I have never snapped a pix of an AD (too common) but here are a couple of a 37 Chevy Business Coupe with a Hagan kit.

Seriously love my vent windows but to each their own! They’re simple but effective and really move air
