QUOTE (JKnight @ Aug 18 2004, 03:59 PM) When I have more time I'll compose a web page with better pics, some recollections of the install, and thoughts on how it should be better. My good friend Joel (aka Pit Bitch), an engineer, designed and fabricated all this. He wants to redo the front, as he hates the side attachment brackets. Let me know if you have any questions. http://www.z28racergirl.com/images/lexan/f...mattachment.jpg http://www.z28racergirl.com/images/lexan/f...ontfullshot.jpg http://www.z28racergirl.com/images/lexan/f...ontsideview.jpg http://www.z28racergirl.com/images/lexan/f...hmentinside.jpg http://www.z28racergirl.com/images/lexan/r...rattachment.jpg http://www.z28racergirl.com/images/lexan/rearhatch.jpg http://www.z28racergirl.com/images/lexan/r...arhatchrear.jpg Pit Bitch doing rear brakes: http://www.lonepinebeaterchallenge.com/ima...ges/camaroj.jpg Jason My installation is similar to those pics... The "T" bar on the front though I put in 2 bars and slotted the metal on the dash so the bottom of the "T" is partially located by the slot INTO the dash itself. And I used pop rivets to hold it in. I used Nutserts on the sides and top/bottom instead of nuts and bolts...takes more tools, but is a really clean installation. I also imitated the stock BLACK FRAME by painting the inside of the window about 3-4 inches around with Flat Black Radio Controlled Car/Model paint.....looks stock from a distance! I filled the gaps with black silicone also that REALLY finishes it off....LOOKS GREAT! That said....I would NEVER do this on a street car....doesn't look "finished" enough for my tastes for a street car....and the stuff IS NOT THAT DURABLE....racing with it I am very carefull NOT TO SCRATCH IT....although most scratches come right out with polish....I think street abuse would make you spend more time messing with the window than it was worth....JMHO (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/cool.gif) |
