Filling window openings

I don't see why if you made it look exactly like the panel truck it would not be legal as  a panel truck. If not I don't see why you would use metal instead of Polycarbonate.

  I believe that I saw where you can buy a "panel" kit to do exactly what you are suggesting.

I'll probably just keep it as it is--if I was really going to go the panel route, I'd have to eliminate the passenger doors, too...but you're right, if I was going to fill it, polycarbonate would make more sense...

Yep, I've seen that, too. Probably the way to go if I was determined to do it, but pretty pricey for something I'm on the fence about anyway...

Gary did not lose his legs in the crash, major damage was to his arms. He recovered and still drove later until he was killed on a street bike when he hit a truck.

  Thanks Glen, I just remember that it was pretty horrific deal.  Gary had more guts than any other race car driver.  I wonder if any books or articles were ever written about his amazing career?                  Bob
