Looking for help with side screens

[marklotus]

Does anyone have a set of original or close-to-original side curtains that they don't need?
I would hate to try to make new ones from scratch.
Let me know what you have.
Thanks,
Mark

Mark,

I ended up making my own side curtains.

I found a super deal on side windows for an unknown type of kit. They appeared to be OEM type design in really rough shape. In addition, I looked closely at the Europaspares frames - they looked really good.

The windows were used as a example to build my own. The two most difficult parts of the build were bending a radius with the aluminum channel that is used at the back of the window and making the vinyl trim.

If you are good with you hands and can get a good look at a pair of windows then go for it. I probably had less than $200 in them and they looked fantastic.

While I was at it I built a unit to hold the windows together in the trunk. It kept them from getting damaged when not in the doors.

I can't seem to find any pictures right now. If you want to discuss, I am glad to walk you thru the process and the types of raw materials needed and where to get them.

Mark,

You mean you didn't learn after the Shelby? I can lend you my 289 curtains after October if you want to copy them.

Rick,
You're right. I should have kept the ones from the Shelby.
Now I have to get/make another set. Thanks for offering to lend me yours.
I have a local guy that I could ask, if it comes to that.

BTW, love your Princess Blue / Red slabside, but then, it looks just like mine.


Best regards,

Mark
