Guest Anonymous Posted January 25, 2002 Share Posted January 25, 2002 I want to weld over my quarter windows and have not yet figured out the best way to go about it. Has anyone here done something similar. I know that anyone with a Ferrari Bodied Z in the coupe version knows. Please help Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan Juday Posted January 25, 2002 Share Posted January 25, 2002 My bet is that the GTO kits fill the windows with fiberglass. Welding them up should be no big deal though. Remove the windows and weld in some 20 gauge steal sheet. You will have to fab an edge for the weather striping to mount to, but again no biggie. The work comes in smoothing it out. Sand, fill, sand fill. If you're doing that you may want to shave the drip rails too. Terry O/Blueoval has some pics and advice on that on his page.

Guest Anonymous Posted January 26, 2002 Share Posted January 26, 2002 yeah...I am a litle worried about that but most of the race seats I have testfitted make the blind spot too. Not too worried about that part. I plan to cut the drip rails off too so I want to do both at the same time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tim240z Posted January 29, 2002 Share Posted January 29, 2002 I was considering this exact thing too, but not sure if I want to do it or not. I knida like the look of that side window. I was also thinking about welding in a panel there and putting in a round portal type window (a la 57 T-Bird), but I think that might be a bit hokey!

denny411 Posted January 29, 2002 Share Posted January 29, 2002 I personaly think a (round) porthole would be too much of a contrast with the sleak look of the Z.(maybe too close to the door also) Just my opinion,I could be way off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Anonymous Posted January 29, 2002 Share Posted January 29, 2002 I don't think I could dig a porthole in the side, now some of the later shelby type scoops where the window was, or maybe even the vented mustang fastback I could probably wrap my head around that.

I agree - especially if you duct it to the brakes and/or differential! (in other words, make it functional!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stony Posted January 31, 2002 Share Posted January 31, 2002 i agree with ppraska.... i think getting rid of the 1/4 window would make the z body lok funny... unless there was a cool looking functional scoop. my 2 cents stony Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
