Has anyone ever done it succesfuly?

I forsee conflicts with the top and maybe the wipers.

Would require new windows glass and such?..

RE:Low Windshield on High Car

I cannnot say this has ever been brought up before. Putting the dash in from a low windshield car is quite a project. This one would be even more difficult. Yes, you would need the low windshield frame and glass. The bottom where the glass now sits and the metal frame would sit would have to be redone. The wing windows would probably sit up too high. I think it would be cheaper to buy a low windshield car and start your project from there. Just my 3 cents worth on the mattter.:roll:
