This weekend, I was able to address some of the outstanding issues prior to registration.
Thanks to Mark Dougherty for the tip of getting a "bow" in the window before attaching to the frame. My first upgrade when the finances allow will be the glass hatch!

The Lexan is really easy to scratch, so I guess I will be polishing some of the areas soon. I ended up painting a 2" wide stripe around the inside. All of the screws are drilled and tapped into the frame, #10-32 button heads, stainless steel.
I also finished mounting Russ's A pillar slat. I was looking at a poster I had of coupe #2601 and noticed the side view mirror was attached at the base of the A pillar slat. Interesting that the holes in the mirror supplied by F5R lined up pretty well with 2 of the 3 holes in Russ's base plate.
