SUT SLANT BACK

[timgco]

So, SUT owners. Let's talk about this Slant Back deal.
I really want one (as I have mentioned 6000 times). After research and running into walls, I have come up with only one answer. My H2 brothers/ sisters and I will have to design one.

So there are some things to look into.
1) R&D.
Who has connections to professional fiber glass work and automotive glass? When I ask this I'm talking about Custom Work. Not Jimbob's glass shop. (unless Jimbob does custom work).

2) What options would you want?
Tinted/ plain glass. window defroster? rear Wiper? Automatic locking with remote?

3) Price?
there is a company (can't remeber the name off hand) who will not be producing one for the SUT but already has a conversion for the H1's. Their conversion starts at $3000.

On my truck i would like to see a high quality finsished product that will look OEM when finished. I would like to see it lock with the remote key fob only without an external lock and have a rear wiper and defroster. I would have it light up inside once the dome light is turned on with the truck or is opened. This can be done with door switches easily.

I know this would be a $3000 to $4000 project with all of those options. (Estimated) But once one is made and perfected cost should be cut in half for a prduction run.

I could have one made out of Alluminum Tubes for frame work and sheet metal finished with holes for glass, but this would be way to heavy. So fiberglass would be the way to go. I don't know anything about custom fiberglassing or molding for this either.

...let's talk about this.
