Re: Why has no one tried to fabricate a new hatch?

The more I delve into this the more I think this is something that needs to be done. I think the surface mount glass top with a full glass hatch together with a de-texturing (smoothing) of the top and a one piece glass treatment on the doors would really look slick. I never thought I'd actually be advocating wing window removal but the more I look at it the more limiting mirror placement and choices seems to be. I'm not sure I'm willing to make the leap to suggest modern window crotch mirrors are the ticket, I think maybe that is too far, but I do think bullet type mirrors would look better than those stock type dental mirrors, dysfunctional peeps, or some of these mid sixties uncle Earl's sedan mirrors that together make up 99% of the mirror choices on 67-72s. Lets face it by the time the first gens were done, even Pintos and Vegas had bullet mirrors as an option, it's not unperiod or unbefitting.
