Finally I have a set of vent windows. I seem to recall starting more than a year ago looking for and collecting these parts. Next step is to install them into the doors.

Cost so far has been $3500 for parts, $3800 for fabrication of the drivers side frame and $1000 for fabrication of the drivers side vent window sheet metal. The starting point for the project was Buick Limited Series 80 parts. Total is now $8300 before installation and chrome. I'm documenting this to help others know the difficulty in both getting these parts and the expense of making parts.

Resources used: Seybold Buick team and James Ruther, the pot metal guru.
