Eliminate wing window 1967 Barraacuda FB

Has anyone looked into using later door guts in a second gen to do a one piece window?

I was thinking i could take the window channels, regulators, and glass from a dart sport/duster (the real 3rd gen barracudas!)

If anyone else has looked into this I'd like to hear your thoughts.

I sometimes fantasize about doing a mild custom 2nd gen and that would have been on the list of mods.

But....I remember reading an interview by one of the Duster designers. He said other than the short time line and lack of money (typical Chrysler), the most difficult thing was accommodating the extremely curved side glass. Trying to fit it into the door depth was the problem. IIRC, it was the first time a side window with that much curvature was used so I'm guessing it would be difficult, though not impossible. Also, the 67-69 windshield angle is way more upright than a Duster.

Ever notice that a 67 camaro has vent windows but the 68-69's do not? Might be interesting to take a closer look. Personally, I try not to look at them too much but they are everywhere.
