I'm confused now I think... uhm
You haven't seen the problem yet or I'm not getting something.

Isn't this thing not supposed to have sidewindows ?

You could glue in a slotcar-pilot-dude-thingy-person but there isn't to much space left.

Yeah, I understand, undecided at this time whether to actually use the t-top glass, smoked, or to not use the t-top glass.

If I race it, the t-top will be glassed and there will be side windows, all will be tinted.

If I keep the t-top open, I'll use it for display and place a black plastic horizontal plate in with the tops of the seat and steering wheel.

Tanks, man

Used bare metal foil for the trim, still needs a clear coat.
