I am now grasping your concept here - I now remember what a true "sedan delivery" looks like. Yes, the idea of covering the windows would be way cool. Perhaps some kind of composite stuff? Not sure how easy it would be to shape sheetmetal to make it look seamless... Bodywork like that is WAY over my head! Fibreglass maybe??

So it is the Custom Cruiser has the retractible tailgate and power window that rolls into the roof? I saw that in the body manual and thought it was a neat design. If so, do you plan for the covered portion to retract also?
I guess if I saw some pictures it would be more evident; got any?

If you do run across a decent runing Vista, 70-72, please let me know. I live in one of those typical little city houses, so i am out of space for projects. (I still regret not making my garage a tad larger and installing A/C.) A good daily driver that can haul stuff is what I need. My new Caddy will be sold if I do find a good Vista. I prefer all older cars.

You may also be able to help me with locating boneyards with older cars; sounds like you know a few. Around here, it is '90 and up... What older cars that can be found are often beyond use.

I am actually east of Plano in a tiny town that used to be in "rural" TX 10 years ago. The city came in and invaded my territory. It turned to crap overnight almost - I hate it now...
