Do we really need windows? I mean really? What do they accomplish that cant be accomplished with heavy plastic and velcro? We rarely drive them in the rain. If your out on a cruise and get caught in bad weather, a small roll of plastic is a heck of a lot lighter than windows and related mechanisms.

So when I get a garage the windows are getting the axe.

Also.

I think Hood pins would be kind of neat. A bit un orthodox as our hoods tilt forward but I think they would be neat. Anybody else think so?

I like my hood pins. My hood is off more than on

Anybody else completely remove their windows?

Jughead

I removed the rear window and it probably won't go back. It's a pop-out but Bubba silicone'd it in place. (he kept losing it) :lol: My door windows are rarely rolled up.

I was thinking about the original vipers. They had no windows. Then I started thinking about what if we were driving a cruise like skyline, and weather turned bad.

So I came up with the snapped or velcroed in heavy plastic.

The humvees we use in the military have canvas doors and windows that are held up by a zipper.

So I said hmmmmmmm

Wow! And I thought I was extreme! :eek:

The only real comfort I want, is a radio and window defroster(gonna replace all the vacuum stuff with a toggle switch to run it)

I think no windows is crazy.
Heck I think non-power windows is :crazy:
It's nice to be able to roll the windows up if it rains, gets cold, a big cross wind...

But I DO live in Minnesota, we have lots of weather changes...

Guru_4_hire

I'll be moving to florida in a year or so.

And thats why I would have the velcro in plastic windows.

...E-MAIL ME YOUR SOLUTION!...My '68 heater/defrost system is BBR (Bubba'd Beyond Recognition), and I shudder at the thought of trying to get it working again. I'm with you...if I could get defrost, I'd be happy. Then I'd just have to figure out a way to avoid rebuilding the windshield wiper cowl vacuum-actuated momstrosity...

Its a project at least 18 months away. I gotta split country again.

When driving top and windows are down. In the garage they are up to keep critters out.

I like the look of my tinted windows on my black car, but like others I do not roll them up often.

I might do like Jughead and stow the back window indefinitely.

BTW, you gotta keep thinking "out of the box." :)

If you're moving to FL and don't want to drive in the rain, be prepared for summer storage, from mid June - Oct.

If you want to test the plastic, once it's in place for water tightness, use a garden hose, set on "stream". That's how hard it rains down here.

I would want windows (whether zip-up, roll-up, or something else) for the drag reduction, if nothing else.
