G28 Power window build

[Murci-Me]

Thank you very much for this build info!!

I have a simple, rather dopey, question

On the small windows behind the doors, you can see mine is a flat, wide trapezoidal hole.
Yours has depth and framing space.  Is this an insert, or is it from the interior we can purchase for a G28 ?

Thank you!
Peter

  This was one of the features that were changed when Joe (IE) came up with his kit. He said it was done in the name of building a "budget" kit, yet no one can figure out how making this change (and by "change" I mean "not including the piece") made it an easier build.
Anyone who truly knows molding techniques can tell that whoever the builder was (Joe), he obviously didn't know how to mold negative reliefs, therefore just left that piece out.
You might wanna contact RobsLP640, I remember a while back he said that he has those pieces.

Unfortunately, I don't have that part yet so I have no way to provide those dimensions. I'm sure there is someone who can help with that though.

OK - That is what I assumed

Any chance you (or anyone here) would be willing to help provide detailed dimensions for depth and the terracing of it?
I know that is asking a lot, but it would be greatly appreciated

You can send to pjkovach@comcast.net

I will see what we can fab for it!

THANK YOU!
Peter

I think you are referring to the sail windows. It looks like yours have been cut out (removed). This is a bummer as you will have to fabricate some new ones in there if you want it to look right.

Anything new on this?  I am fitting a pair of Marks plexiglass windows to my G28 roadster until such time as a glass option becomes available.  I would like to have them come down as far as possible so I need to know what tracks and regulators will work best.  I saw rodriguezs track from Lowes and how he formed it.  When I inquired about the price of tracks from pull and save they wanted the same price for the tracks and regulators as for the whole door.

I thought I would document my work on my doors on a seperate thread considering the complexity of the job. I have logged about 26 hours on the doors to get them to this point. The glass tracks are in as well as the door latch and handle. Just need to por 15 everything and get the trim finalized and seal it up. I will take tons of pictures so keep checking back in a week or so.

Great looking build Jets!!!!!

Hey thanks guys I apperciate the kind words. The trick with these lines is to establish them with some filler and back them with a few layers of fiberglass. You cant trust the filler no matter how well prepped the surface was. The last thing you need is to close the door and a piece of the perfect line falls off with it! Also staying consistant with my sanding tools has proven to work good for me.

[dratts]

Well obviously you're an artist AND a mechanic/engineer all wrapped up in one.  That really looks nice.  The alignment and gaps look perfect.  Probably better than Lamborghini does.

Looks great Jets...  Keep up the  great work!

[Jets303]

Established lines. Door is almost done.

[Jets303]

Hands down the biggest pain in the butt!

Man, thats looking good bro.   Great work.   I bet you cant wait to get past these doors and windows.  LOL.

Welded up a sturdy door striker plate mount. This thing is stout. I used a small piece of chromoly behind this plate.
