Several Classic Industries products recently appeared in the February 2022 issue of All Chevy Performance magazine, when the owner of this 1963 Chevy II set out to replace its side window glass. The article explains, "Although it’s impossible to tell now, Scudellari started out with a car that was rough. In fact, it was so rough he got it for free." As you can see from these photos, it has been fully restored inside and out, thanks to a selection of quality parts and lots of diligent labor.

Jason Scudellari, pictured above, picked up a 6-piece clear side glass set from Classic Industries to replace the unusable original glass. This glass set includes right and left-side vent window glass, door glass, and quarter window glass.

While he was at it, Scudellari took on a few other tasks. The worn-out window regulators were replaced with new OER door window regulators and quarter window regulators, ensuring each of these windows could be cranked up and down smoothly and held securely in place. The door latches were also replaced with original-style reproduction OER door latches from Classic Industries.

The project was finished off with new door weatherstrip, which seals out moisture, dust, and road noise. A pair of Lokar billet window crank handles were also added for a modern touch.
