Hey I am going to be getting into drag racing and I am going to get a lite rear hatch, which window should I get to go with it?FAL?

 

Happy new year! Help me out guys

 

Morning help bump

 

Help me out, please

 

.....

 

if you plan on running this in sfwd, i dont believe aftermarket windows are allowed.

on another note, fal makes a nice window. fitment is pretty good.

also might want to try speedglass. and cut your own window.

 

Who makes the litest window out there?

 

lexan rear windows? what is the going to be the future for this car?

 

Drag car this summer, trying to save all the weight I can. I want to be around 2000ibs, not easy but I will do it. Already have kens kustom chassis rear axle

 

what class? just go full lexan windows are around i guess then

 

sounds like a hot rod or all motor car. just go full lexam , dont waste the money on fal. there are cheaper alternatives out there. Fal is good for street cars though that wanna save weight

 

Where can I get lexan?BTW it is a allmotor drag car.

 

Does KKC make lexan for hondas. i heard of people going to Home Depot and stuff and getting sheets of lexan and tracing and making templets to make their own windows.

 

Ok I meant do that, sounds like a plan. But after I get them to size what will I need to get them to seal in the rear hatch?

 

NO Kens doesnt make them . him and Frank get them precut to the car from Percy's i think the place is. I know they fit awesome and are cheap as ****. also scratch proof. The crapo from lowes and what not will scratch to hi heaven

 

yeah i just remember someone posting and saying about buying lexan sheets. good look out on where to buy tho and good luck to you Lsvtec2.1liters

 

If you are going to buy your own Lexan, you want the Scratch Resistant kind. I believe it is called MR-10, but not positive.. And no, it isn't cheap..

 

How and what would you use to cut it to you're template you made?

use a cardboard(oaktag works best) cut out of the window, trace it to the lexan. you might be able to use a small hand held air powerd saw to cut the lexan with. on the most recent car we built we laid the lexan over the window opening, cut it a bit bigger than we wanted, and trimmed it down to get a "perfect fit"

there is no sealent behind the lexan on my car, just black paint on the "underside/backside"

 

So this paint hold the window in? No bolts or screws like I have seen? Thanks guys, I will post pics of my beast soon

 

lol, the paint is to make it look like a real window, use small allen head screws to hold it in place.

here is an example(my car)

 

allen screws if you plan on taking it off once and a while. or zeus fasteners. if its gonna be permanent then use rivets

 

Ok this is a newb question, where does the rivets screw into besides the window it self?

 

into either a window frame, which attaches to the body, or just drill holes through the window and body, put the bolt through than, tighten a nut on the backside.

rivets dont screw into anything. you need to drill holes into the window frame or make tabs and pop them in.
