<div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Originally Posted By: olredalert</div><div class="ubbcode-body">----Donnie,,,,This is such a minor thing that I hesitate to mention it,,,but, the window cranks should be some where between the 7and 8 position when the window is all the way up. Seems almost stupid to mention it, but it's true. You have a Chevelle I would love to own and I have been watching your progress since day 1. Absolutely top shelf job!!!!!........Bill S </div></div>

Bill, do both sides get put at 7 to 8?
or one side 7 to 8 and the other side 4 to 5?

<span style="font-weight: bold">what color are the clips that hold the weather strip to the bottom of the hood?
at some point as you can see they were painted black I think they should be some sort of green.</span>
