TheGyver (who was selling the 2-dr sedan with the plastic back window) was telling me about plexiglas/lexan windows. Apparently you use a heat gun to put any required curvature in it. This might work for the door glass.

I thought about it..enquired about glass costs..quickly forgot about it..and the 1/4 windows are handy in summer...cheap A/C.

I think that's why the 510s look mean..no 1/4 window..

Ah well,

Ahhh I remember the Cal look VWs well...I had a grey primer Baja Bug when I was 18. Most race cars down here replace the side glass with perspex or Lexan and it cleans up the side profile. I chopped the whole window frame off my race car doors and capped the holes. It does'nt need windows they are just weight!! While I was at it I removed the door handles inside and out and used the door lock push at the end of the door to open it. More weight saving.

While reading the post about window rubbers, I had a thought. I remember that there used to be a kit to delete the little swing out vent windows in old Volkswagen Beetles. It replaced the whole side window with a solid piece of glass. Has anyone ever seen this done on a Datsun? I personally wouldn't want it unless the car had air conditioning, but it might be a "kool kustom" look. Thoughts?
