Boy, when you double post, you don't mess around  ........takes two pages!
Progress looks good to me, nice job on the door skins, still playing with that myself.
Rear vents look great.
Here's another little "ditty" found amongst the stuff from Barrie:
As you can see, it fits to the wheel well and is flipped to get both sides. Could've made a template of the template for you, but what you did looks just as good or better, just maybe would have saved a little time figuring size and placement.
Keep up the good work, and posting your progress.
I've "looked" at mine a couple times, but that's about as far as it's got.
HAGO!

The progress is coming along nicely there Bob.

I think you'll find that once you get the decklid fitted, the size of the rear window will already be substantially shorter than stock because of the height of the lid. Chopping the top will only shorten the rear glass even further. There is a limit to how small you can make the rear window before it starts to look strange... but I'm sure you'll find your own happy compromise. Keep up the good work!

Thanx guys. it's been fun solving all of these issues. I've been vacationing in Florida for the last week, but it's time to get back to work.
Sage, that would have come in handy. I'm not sure if mine is like the original, but it's pretty close to my photoshop.
Blooze, I agree with you totally, but if I were to do it, I would also lower the rear deck, which I might do anyway. Time will tell...

I was at a Disney Resort (Pop) for a wedding, that was actually in Lake Mary, for three days. Then we went to Cocoa Beach for another three days. We had a great time.

More work today. Darn it was hot and humid out there.
Prepping to glue in the panel (when I say glue, I mean fiberglass  )
View down the side
Side view.
Next on the agenda is to glass in the vent back wall and to finish glassing the door skin.

Looking good Bob!
Should you need additional door skins to play with, get ahold of Doug, as there are quite a few among the Fejer parts from Barrie, that'll probably never get used otherwise. I'm sure he'd cut you a great deal.
The heat makes the glass kick faster, just also makes it uncomfortable for us resin slingers, unfortunately.
Keep up the good work!
HAGO!

Bob it is looking really great!!
interesting concept with the doors. Have you tried lowering the window to see if there is any binding?
I love the lower scoops are you planning on making them functional with ducting.
I've been busy on mine finally got the rear quarter to where I want it Don and I should be glassing the rear quarter soon.
I'll post some pics in a few days
