    What’s the metal border for your doors to hold the lexan called and where did you get it ? You did such a great job on this.
    I have a Camaro ss and I’d like to see about getting that support boarder to hold my lexan.

    Did you paint the border on the inside or outside. I’m making mine this weekend. Thanks.

    Trimaco X board works way easier for templates than cardboard. I use it for everything on the race car.

      I scuffed it with red scotch bright and then sprayed it with rustoleum paint and primer in a can!

    You’re not able to use urethane and primer to install it? Wouldn’t drilling into it would cause air leaks etc

      I’m sure it probably could’ve been glued in, but we decided to use the rivets and rivnuts since this is just a race car. Lexan has an issue yellowing or becoming foggy overtime, so it will eventually have to be changed. This just made it easier.

    I read somewhere that “Poly windows shatter into sharp shards, in a accident you basically have knifes flying around” Is this true?
