It looks great, Did you loose much weight by taking the glass out? Did Morgan have to heat and shape the rear window or did you just bend it to shape as you fitted it? I have been considering doing it to my drag car project but a little unsure of how to go about it??? when you weigh up costs for a set of new window rubbers i think it would be just about even right?
