I started a project I've been wanting to do for a while, inspired by Jairus' '61 Starliner conversion. I was able to salvage about twenty unbuilts from my stash after the fire, and the '61 was one of them. I put all the necessary parts in one box ('61 and '60 bodies, and the chassis and floorpan from the '60). However, my MCM stash was turned to dust, so I no longer have the article on how Mr. Watson did the deed. I started last night, but I'm lost on the drop on the '60 rear window, and I'd like to know how to resolve this. After I cut both roofs away (cowl and all), I stuck the '61 roof on the '60, and I also might end up with a '60 Galaxie 500.

Drop Jairus a PM here on the board....I bet you will get all you need from J.

I'm still here! Using OPC's (Other Peoples Computers) really is killing me. The Predictor (second attempt) is toast- well, actually, it got turned into a surrealistic blob. I'll have some pics of the '61 up soon. Those pickups in my sig? They all survived. Yay!
