Once we removed the box tubing, the underside of the decklid was bonded to the framework & the seal area looked like this.........





A little bit more fiberglassing & the underside of the decklid will be completed.

Then it's time to address the tops of the doors.

Curley wanted the top edge of the door to get taller as it goes back into the quarter window area. So we cut off the top of another door skin & did some trial fitting.......





Here's what it looks like before we glass it in......

Hey Archie, I've found the G6 parts for the thingie that knowone noticed in the pic, hehe).



Items:

1. G6 (three) vents
2. Dakota's digital clock
3. Viper bezel w/leather boot.
4. (2) Watson's bullet cup holders (that's right...I roll with cupholder, hehe).
5. MOMO shifter.

I'll send them out today (3-day delivery). What was the hold-up? I had misplaced them and in the process of finding them I had to go through the entire house. Oh well, the third bay garage needed cleaning anyway.

Thanks fourpoint9, fierowannbe, and 86fierofun for your photoshop skills.

I think I'll use 4.9's suggestion on the use of painting the lower lip black once it's back to CA. Yes. I like "tweeking" peoples ideas. Constructive comments are always welcome.

I think some people don't realize what all it takes to make things like this functional. After getting the framework ready for the window & welding that to the decklid structure, I consulted with Curley. We determined that there was no desire to make the left & right sides & the top of the window waterproof, but there is a need to have the lower end of the window seal. That way water won't have a chance to get inside the trunk & the small decklid.

Considering that the 350Z window is going to be bonded (with Window-Weld) to the framework & that the Left, Right & top of the window is going to extend out past the framework, we still needed a waterproof seal at the bottom edge of the window. We also need the underside & edges of the decklid to have a finished look. So it took a little time to get that done.......

We had to establish a surface to seal the window to along the areas marked in Red.......





Just another reason why I wanted Archie and the crew to perform the work on #020....I wanted it done right.
