Flush Mount Bumpers & Rear Windshield Fabrication - 1970 Twin Turbo LSX Swap Chevelle Ep. 10

[@joshusername22]

That trick with the V piece of metal to mark from the back side was slick. I'll definitely be using that. Thanks!

[@SalvagetoSavage]

I have a 71 Cutlass that is pretty much the same car body (A-body), I love the flush windows (never liked the molding) even though it will take forever if I do it. I have my windows out now and just finished cleaning up some bad rust holes which caused it to leak. I had to recreate a section that was pretty bad with some scrap metal i had around the shop along the top rear. Hopefully my windows will be back in next week so I can enjoy some summer drives. I do want to flush my bumpers and remove the button bolts so this was super helpful. You are killing the details! Everything that owners of these cars wished they did back in the 70s. Unfortunately most people wont notice many of these changes but those who know, know how much work it took to make it so clean.

[@SalvagetoSavage]

With the summer weather do you really need a windshield while driving? Lol we really appreciate the support. If you end up flush mounting your windshield and bumpers, tag us on your progress on Instagram! We’d love to see you working ok your project!

[@TyinAlaska]

Hi there. Thanks for the great content. I know it's easy to be a know-it-all keyboard worrior, but I would like to respectfully correct you on hot working and cold working. These plasticity deformation techniques for metal stregthening/malliagning come from blacksmithing and metallurgy. Hot working is changing a metal's crystalline structure by applying heat and force. Cold working is changing the structure without applying heat and using much more force. When you heat up the metal with a cutting tool, you are indeed hot working the metal, but when you cut the metal without heating it enough to change its structure you're not cold working - you're just cutting. This is because cold working is applying pressure to metal until it deforms to create a new crystalline structure. You're totally right though, obviously, that it is an important distinction to cut non-structural components, and components that you don't want deformed with methods that don't heat the metals to their recrystallization temperature.

[@SalvagetoSavage]

Thank you for the clarification! We'll try to be more correct with our terminology next time!

[@ryanaustin1970]

Excellent work ,im going to do the same , except tighten the rear bumper "up to " the quarters ... they always had a huge space there . In the front rework the fender "pocket " behind the bumper

Another great video from S2S. Tim, your craftsmanship and creativity are top notch. So glad you figured a way to use stock glass. Question: As you "raise" the window flange up to create the flush glass pocket, it also makes the flange thicker... maybe 1/4" or more. How are you going to configure the flange for trim/upholstery so when viewed from the interior it doesn't look weird? Cheers from Houston.
