Anyone try this or know how to go about doing it. I think it would look really good having all one piece window compared to having the wing part.

What I've thought of doing and is "sort of" along the same lines is to do a complete one piece Lexan glass window that doesn't roll up or down. Install it with external rivets along the perimeter holding it in place (see original GT40s). Then create a sliding section within it that you can open for fresh air (see '64 Ferrari 250LM). they used to do this out of Perspex I think. It's more "Hard Core" than what's being discussed here maybe but I think it'd be so cool. I wouldn't consider it unless the car was an airconditioned streetcar though. Thought about it for a long time, may try it one day. I wonder it the local authorities would notice or if they'd even care?
