Datsun 240Z gets a chopped-top

[boodlefoof]

Thanks for the responses guys!

Yeah... about the glass... well, it ain't gonna fit anymore! Actually, none of it will fit anymore. I had hoped that the windshield channel would remain somewhat the same, but I just wanted too much rake.

As for the side windows, they could be made to fit with some cutting... but I'm not sure if this is possible on tempered glass. The rear quarter windows I planned on just making out of lexan anyway. I'll probably make new rear glass out of lexan as well. I would like to maintain functional door windows though, but I have not yet figured out what I will do about that.

The hatch will not fit anymore either because I pulled the roof back so far. But, I planned on not keeping the hatch. Well, I may reuse what I have and modify it, but the plan is to make it an affixed piece rather than an openable hatch. So, I might trim down the current hatch and weld it in... or I'll make a new piece out of fiberglass.



I will certainly be sure to include a writeup of how I solve the glass problem when I get to that point on my website.

My next step with the car now is to get it ready for all of the custom fiberglass work I plan to do. = )
