I am playing with a rosebud torch and chromoly tubing to fab a hidden roll bar up the sides, across the front and across the rear. Also trying not to burn the house down :)
You can probably see in your 1800 that there isn't a lot of space along the A pillar to add additional structure so I am working on a solution there. There was never a lot of structure in that roof:

I will let you know what the glass costs after we get one done, they can probably run two after the blank has been completed as easy as making one.

I would think you could cut into part of the A pillar and recess it but I just went and looked at it and there isn't much on an A pillar to begin with. Might have to be some smaller tubing that goes there. If its smaller I would gusset the sides to the pillar to help with strength. Who else has some input on this?

Practice
 

I have been working on my metal forming skills using hand tools. There are a few parts I need to fabricate for the rear to complete the body widening. This was a practice piece from today, have to trash it and try again:

More practice required :) This is 16 ga.

The work you've done on this is amazing. I love the renderings.

With the tempered roof glass I am having made for my P1800 build, I am only really removing the actual roof skin, and then boxing out the roof rails, because the basic structure for that style glass is there. I plan on leaving the upper back window/roof cross brace in place, and having the full roof glass conceal it, by using the same ceramic coating that is being used on our black out border and dot mattrix pattern. A quality Tempered glass, along with quality urethane, will actually add rigidity to the body structure...

I really think that Vox came up with the glass roof design by looking at the factory roof structure, because you can really see the possibilities after the headliner is removed. By boxing all the factory roof rails out, you can then add the flanges for the glass to adhere to, so it wont be that complicated of a process.

Car's looking good! I'm impressed with your skills and what you're learning. Good luck!

I really want the glass for my car. I have been messing with my car lately and im excited

I should have some updates soon! :)

lazy summer
 

I find it difficult to get much garage time in the summer, kids out of school, and lots of family time. I have a few small updates.

I am busy planning plumbing for Turbosmart waste and BOVs with Holley controls.

I went with oil and water cooled, a few more stainless lines to run.

I love the look of the ported shroud, maybe there is clear silicone intake tubing out there?

And some progress on the body:
Its hard to see in this image but I have modified the door handles, all the mechanical linkages have been removed and I have an electronic switch that operates door release actuators.

Still repairing panels, this is the front quarter near the hood opening, previous repairs added in inches of bondo and layers of repair. All gone now.
