Rear glass

I got the rear lexan window partially installed today. The profile is starting to come together. To install the glass I had to cut it into a trapezoid shape to match the shape of the trunk. After that I put a bead of silicon around the whole frame then I placed the lexan onto this and put another bead of lexan onto the glass. I then used an L shaped metal to sandwich the lexan to the frame and welded that on.

Some more supplies

I got some more supplies today. I first tried to get a single piece of lexan for the rear view screen but Lowes and Home depot only had 36 x 48 sheets and I needed 40 x 48. I decided that I tried to see if I could fashion a 2 sheet window but after buying 2 sheets and bringing them back to see the fit I decided that it wouldn't work. I went online and found that the same place that I ordered the corrugated plastic for the underbody also had a 48x48 sheet of lexan.
After the Lexan came in I decided to get a few more metal supplies. I got another 24x24in sheet metal and I got a few more bars of metal. I'm also going to have to fill my CO2 + Argon tank before I do any more welding.
I was thinking that I might try to put a bead of silicon on the edge of the sheet metal where it will contact the body between the rear seats and the trunk, if that doesn't work I will look into rubber.

More hardtop work

The first thing I did was to add some support beams that have a curve to them. This has 2 benefits, first it adds extra head room. The second benefit is that it matches the slope of the rear hatch.

Once the support beams were welded in, I started to attach some sheet metal to fill out the roof. I had some sheets that werr a little big. I tack welded them to the perimeter and the interior supports.

After It was welded, I cut off the extra and its starting to look like a roof.
