Fabrication
of back window
I needed
a back window but
because of the bat
wings, I could not use a
stock Bradley Plexiglas
rear window so I decided
to make my own. I
covered the areas that
would come in contact
with fiberglass with
aluminum tape 2" wide. I
then cut pieces of scrap
2X2 to fit between the
"T" top and the back of
the car.
I
continued filling in
with 2"X2" ribs and then
added a piece of 1/8"
plywood. then I took
some of the .090
Polyethylene plastic I
had bought for the doors
and covered the back
window. I taped it down
with aluminum tape.
Then I
cut fiberglass cloth to
fit, masked around the
car as not to spill the
messy resin all over the
car, and proceeded to
brush black pigmented
resin into the cloth.
When it was still tacky
I added the next layer
of glass and resin. I
continued until I had
five layers of glass and
resin. I let it cure for
a day and removed the
part the next day.
Below:
I laid out where I
wanted my window glass
to be and I drilled 1
1/2" holes in the
corners with a hole saw
and finally used a
router to cut the
straight lines.
Below: I
used some polyethylene
plastic to make a smooth
surface when it was
finished. I made up a
batch of resin, coated
the side and while it
was wet I clamped
Polyethylene plastic to
the wet surface being
carful to keep the air
bubbles out.
I added
"T" nuts to the inside
top so the whole frame
can be attached to the
"T" top and there are
three 1/4 -20
stainless steel bolts
that attach at the
bottom the the car body. |
