Replace the bolsters, more specifically, the beam on which the bolsters are mounted, and another 40 years of smoothness. Expanding windows is difficult, but doable, i don't know how much rigidity the M1s get from the side upper body, but it can be compensated for by placing rigid beams where necessary to gain the rigidity. I never did like the small windows however. that is why i like older cars...BIG non-tinted windows. New cars have bigger, but more tinted windows. I HATE tinted windows. |
