Built a cover for for removable window frame

[Dbteak]

I run my bronco without the top or window frames and the gaping hole makes the door look like s*%& so I built these covers that slide into and bolts through the existing holes for the window frame. It also prevents the windows from being rolled up. They turned out pretty good. I used 18 gauge sheet metal.

Nice work n probably a market for a few of these

Yes, what he said.

I sent in the patent. I see a 18 room mansion in my future. Oh wait, its for a bronco- never mind. I have never seen anyone do this though and it probably wouldn't be too expensive to mass produce.

That's pretty slick.

Need a kit to convert all doors to removable frames!

Very nice.

I am trying to figure out how you do not have any chips on your doors yet.

Wow, nice work! I like it.

You mean like this. I didn't do it during this project though. And I wasn't smart enough to touch it up when I had paint mixed to spray the fillers.

Those are slick! I believe Duff has frame replacement / repair that converts them to removable.

All you have to do is drill out the welds and use the weld holes to bolt them in. Easy peasy

That's a really cool idea. Looks great.

Nothing ever easy if I'm involved ;D

Nice work. Looks great!

I thought about making a very thin stainless steel piece curved like the door and attaching it on the inside edge to take to contact with top. I fit my door like a nice car - now they are picking up chips because Broncos are "flexible"!

Now removable window frames are available, but 30 yrs. ago you either had to buy a '66-'68 or convert them somehow. I got '68 doors to get this feature. Your fillers look like something Ford should have made for these years. I found some track fillers that are quick and easy.
