Panelvan upper tailgate bubble windows

just got back from indesign, the people who were vancraft years ago, have had a few owners but the guy there is going to get the owner to ring me, he thinks they still have the old window moulds packed away in a storeroom, here's hoping cheers

If they get back to you Andrew, maybe we should ask them for a bulk rate? See how many in MV are interested in getting one and go from there. They might help us out, or do we just ask them if we can buy the moulds!

i will certainly be asking those questions, left them a card too and asked them to come have a look

Hi folks,

As Rob mentioned earlier I've made quite a few bubble windows including tailgate windows for my Valiant projects, pentastar side windows, roof bubbles and tailamp bubble covers.

The plan is to pump out some different windows once my Disturbia Van is done (I'm on a July 2011 deadline) which will start with HQ-WB tailgates and HQ-HZ bubble tailamp covers, and then some generic shape windows like teardrops and hearts etc. in all different colours. I just want to trial them myself first to make sure that they will fit ok (I have a HZ upper tailgate here as a tester and a mate has an XC Sundowner for the Falcon upper).

I'll try and put together a how-to thread anyway as they're pretty straight forward to do, but it's just time consuming to get everything set up as far as the air trays and templates go, but once you do that then its plain sailing.











have fun

Excellent work Simo, I look forward to the progress. Great pictures. Cheers

I think there'll be more than one MVer that'd order bubble windows off you Simo if you started producing them.

Ok folks! I'll start smashing them out asap! Any colour that's available can be done but the basics will be in clear or grades of tint.

Thanks
