1-Piece Window and a better bodyline....??? (pic)

I will start with two apologies:

1. For my poor photoshop skilz
2. For blatantly "borrowing" a members recent side profile shot.


Here is an example of something I've been pondering for a while. It's a combination of a 1-piece window mixed with what I can only guess would be a SEVERE amount of door mods...




One of the things that bugs me about my K5 is that I can't rest my arm comfortably on the doorframe because the wing-window is just a bit too close, and the overall height of the door is too high.....Aesthetically, I have always been bothered by the fact that the door doesn't line up visually with the front fenderlines, or the top sill of the rear quarterpanel.

After photohacking that pic, I really like how much cleaner the door looks and how much better it "flows" with the rest of the body.

Has anyone already DONE this??? (I have a feeling it's been done a few times). If you have pics of the completed door, or better yet descriptions of how the heck you were able to create new window scrapers, and fabricate the new door areas I'd love to see them.
