I'd PM'd this to Mystic, and had talked a/b it on www.sn95forums.com (http://www.sn95forums.com), but I thought I'd drop it over here to see if anyone would have any brilliant ideas on how to make it work. My dream is to have 4 roll up windows in my GT coupe. I wanna have 'vert 1/4glass and motors so that I can get rid of the b pillar. It'd be just like the old-school musclecars! Of course, no one but stang lovers would ever know the diff and it'd probably be rediculously difficult to pull off, but I'd sure love it!
I've been think'n a/b this for a long time, and it seems like I'd need 'vert interior panels for the backseat area (prolly the vert backseat, too) to clear the motors for the 1/4 glass. This would open up the opportunity to swap in the white interior! I also love the (porno) red interior, so I'm torn a/b which one I'd take. For those that don't know, I've got a Sapphire Blue 95 GT.

I'm sure all you would need is the motor,quarter glass with track,and maybe the bracket that holds the motor,and stuff in place,then some good fabbing would need to be done by cutting the coupes quarter glass mounting panel at the B pillar,plus you might need to reinforce that area a bit to keep it structurly safe.
Can be done,but it will not be cheap. :?

Well, I stopped to look @ an SN95 vert the other day (it was actually even a v6 w/ the red interior!), and -unfortunately- the shape of the quarterglass is different. my C pillars actually angle toward the front of the car at the bottom, while the 'vert C pillars go straight down. dang...
Guess that'd be even more fabrication.

Can't you do something like this with the old hardtops they use to make? I'm not familiar with them, but from what I can tell it may help give you some ideas.

Yes, that's the exact look that I'm after. Those hardtop verts are SUPER rare. I don't really care a/b having a vert car, it's just the 4 pwr windows that I'm after. Those are the best pix that I've seen of the HT vert, though, so thanx for that!
Looks like they kept the same shape on the window opening of the HT, and there's just a space for the window to hide behind that dog-legged section. Maybe when/if I do this I'd do the same...
