I only consider a car a "race car" when you take the water out of it. if you have coolant you can street it. in my opinion anyway. I probably would've used dum-dum instead of foam for a little extra adhesion and support either way it came out so awesome. Do really appreciate the dedication to the late edits. I hope this turns into something great for you your family and your shop.

Looks good. I’ve got to replace the lexan in my maverick, may steal some ideas since I’ve never been happy with how the previous owner installed them.

Absolutely that’s what I do this for is to help others out. It’s never about me and what I’ve done but instead it’s about let me share how I done it to help you. Thanks for watching.

U did a good job. I still like the real glass and trim but it is a race car so I understand. One bad thing is if u clean it wrong Lexan will show swirl marks. I forgot to us the right cleaner one day at work😂😂. I can’t wait to hear that car run.

@ThePaintPaperHustle 2 жыл бұрын

Yes that is downside to lexan but I wanted the weight savings. You can actually use a heat gun to remove swirls and scratches in lexan btw.

Yes sir. You can also use a small hand held propane torch

What sucks is to do all this work and tub and cage a car then if u can even find a track that’s open all they will have is bracket driving so a person in a v6 convertible will write 17.76 on window run a 17.80 and if we write 9 and do 8.99 that v6 convertible can tell everyone they won in a drag race.

What thickness of aluminum do you use for the flanges?

@ThePaintPaperHustle Жыл бұрын

I honestly can’t remember I’m sorry. It’s so thin I can cut it with thin snips by hand. You don’t want it so thin that it’ll bend when you drill through everything but doesn’t need to be thick either

Enjoying the build, got one here. It had a bad day with some trespassers/thieves. Had planned to keep all the glass in the car but have a literal butthole in the front windshield and busted the rest. Can you reach out on messenger, please

Those wood screws are not fo me #6 or #8 Stainless machine screws with nylock nuts so I can control compression of the foam without worrying about clamping power of the fastener

Yea everyone is different. I wanted to go Allen head but don’t want to deal with climbing inside car to hold a wrench on each bolt. You can tighten these down just as slow as a bolt though and don’t need anyone holding a wrench on inside. I installed each one by hand with a screwdriver. I thought about using nutserts and Allen head bolts but decided to do this for now. However I may go back and nutsert every hole later and change to a bolt which still will allow me to remove and install by myself.

I don’t want to have to drill rivets out every time I want to remove the rear window. It’s nice being able to remove it in 3 mins to clean inside or to remove my quarter panel interior panels as they have to come out through back window due to cage.

@@ThePaintPaperHustle I guess you should look into what rivet NUTS are?

@ThePaintPaperHustle 2 жыл бұрын

Yes that’s what I refer to as a nutsert. Maybe my terminology is incorrect which it probably is.
