EK morphs into pillarless Coupe .

[Harko]

Apart from Scottys pic pn the previous page ,Page 44 was the last page I put any concepts that are photoshopped .
So your OK Tim most of it is real
I know I cant believe it myself

[Harko]

Heres some pictures for those who couldnt quite grasp how the window needs to roll .

Up position



Heres the veiw as it drops but take away the quarter panel and the area needed becomes more apparent


The window cant drop vertically due to the wheel arch



It will have to move to the rear into a cavity that needs to be created and the front will drop



The window winder panels I have seem around 200mm too long so heaps of thought and no mistakes would be good

Maybe add the triangle bit back in that you removed when you moved the rear roof forward

[oldnek]

Harko,
You could add a slight infill to the rear corner of the back window. This will allow you to have the rear glass smaller than what you cut the card out from.


Then fab window reg runners at a slope, as in the orange line and pivot from position A and fan down off the rear B.
Then the rear window will drop down a little then pivot off to lowering position, without the worry of the rear wheel arch issue.

Try a few profiles to see if it works.

NO NO no no new Elements5

Old Neck hehe I mean oldnek Thanks mate , it would work for sure but the kickback aint hip dude

I chalked up a few theorys and calculations , measured up the angles curves and apex's and I swear einstein is wrong

Just before dark I figured if I keep the window regulator and inner panel as is , notch out a slot in the old door latch area of the body and juggle it into position it will work ,provided I set the window forward on the base channel , hard to explain again ,
Ill bolt it in as per the car it came from so it can be removed without a problem


Its definitely getting to the not so grueling part of the build , cant wait to be setting up the interior and sending it off for trim.





Yes I tried cartoon glass first but it was way to flimsy

Yes there is..
Sikaflex sticks to your finger and shirt.
Tek Screws aren't a good feeling through the fingers
and 100mph tape good for ear muffing and keeping your eyes protected but you can't see anything.

[Woodie]

[Harko]

Thanx mate , Its a big difference having some time to play again .
The plan for the rest of the car is all laid out ahead of me now so its just a matter of how long it will take to finish it ..
