I need a build thread immediately.

Doesn’t it also act as a seat belt brace?

search the tag zoom zoom. that’s about as far as I have gotten. Still deciding which shell I want to start welding to.

Hah, no, the wind blocker exists solely to block wind when driving with the top down. It has no structural function, as it’s floppy enough to flex even when installed. IIRC some model years came with a separate brace placed behind the wind blocker, but you don’t seem to have that.

So is that an NA with parts hacked off of an FC RX7?

NA with MX3 roof and hatch. It’s going to need some custom panels though. I picked up an english wheel and and shrinker and stretcher to hopefully form them myself.

Needs more wide overview shots because I’m having a hard time picturing how a glass hatch that big is gonna look. Would be a sweet-ass way to make a fastback hardtop though.

That’s what I’m going for. I also want to make the hatch functional too. Right now it’s nestled in my garage because of almost constant daily rain. It is hard to get a wide view shot, but it shouldn’t be any more egregious than the RF’s proportions but with more of an extended fastback.

Gotta remove that wind blocker, that was the only way I could get the seat back enough to ever fit in a NB.

Sorta but it’s all glass. Here’s one of the ones I did first:

What’s the blue in the second picture? Part of teh MX3 skin?

That’s the MX3 Roof or what’s left of it. This is how I got it home
