dilema on wether to install a real window plug or not

[moparstuart]

how about rear window louvers?

and sidepipes , i almost put sidepipes on mine .

no no no low rider boy no

Personally I think it looks like the easy (cheap) way out.  Sorta like exhaust coming out in front of the rear wheels. 

If Larry has the cajones to do it to a triple black car, should make it easier on other folks' conscience.

I wouldn't have traded for Dane's old car if it didn't have the Vega hatch.  But these are just my opinions.  You gotta do whatever you feel right about.

it would be nice to keep a fullsize trunk lid !!!!!
I didnt put stops on the birdibles trunk lid , may chop my finger tips off someday , but dammit i can get in my trunk  ,except when it on the freakin rollback   

              You need a ladder to get in your trunk.

I would put the plug in and add the gator grain top!  Nobody mentioned this yet did they?

  plug it.

It's funny reading my old posts from back when I was trying to decide what to do with my future clone project. No plug, yes plug, headlamps in grille opening, working headlamps, fiberglass wing, aluminum wing, etc., etc.,etc.. The only thing short of being the ultimate is the fiberglass nose and that's subject to an eventual upgrade.
Do the plug...you know you want it.

Maybe you should look at it from this point.
Do you have a headliner/window trim in and outside/package tray?
If you need to buy these items anyway,the difference in pricing is not a huge amount.
I actually went the other way.I built a plug(with daytona glass in mind).I was not happy the way the upper section turned out.So instead of redoing it I just cut it all out.All the stock charger items I needed were already purchased and sitting here.Mine will not be a stock looking car anyway so no big deal on the plug.

We all want the plug !

My plug goes between the sail panels and ends at the trunklid's forward opening. It looks cool and the roofline isn't spoiled from a side-view. As an added bonus, the (full size) spare tire is fairly easily removed from the trunk.

No, no one has mentioned it, but someone IS trying to do it!  A few months ago Legendary was "looking into" stitching up a custom fit Gator Grain top for my car. I'm not sure if they are still "looking into" that or if they flat-out decided it wasn't worth the effort to sell one top.

we need pictures of your custom plug !

    we need pictures of your custom plug !

I've posted/linked pics in several different threads. Since I can't remember which ones, specifically... I guess I'll just re-link from photobucket.com.

so is that a stock back glass, or what did you use  ?

[kab69440]

Believe it, or not... That used to be an AMC Hornet wagon liftgate. Get this, the backlight was sourced from PPG, as was Chrysler's glass. The people that do notice the change and question whether or not it belongs there are usually stumped by that etching in the lower corner. It's pretty amusing to watch Mr. Knowitall suddenly become speechless.

You know, the Hornet set up looks a bit odd, but I also think that it doesn't look that bad. (Still a lot of work) The small areas at the bottom of each sail panel look a lot like the Nissan Maxima did the last body style before the current one. (2004 to 2006 I think). I like the execution, nice work.

Well thanks for all the suggestions. I did think about the gator grain top with the plug but i don't know if it would come with enough material to cover the plug and where would I find some kind of trim to seperate it like on a vynial top car? anysogestons on that. What did a superbird have?

[hotrod98]

The superbird used the original side vinyl top moldings and the diamonds were cast to include the filler or completer piece to fill in the gap.

[troy.70R/T]

Thanks for you input guys. I know the tops are 1200.00 and I just thought I would save that expense for last. That way I would buy it. Would legendary make a top for a daytona with the window plug? and if so how would I trim it off since regular charger trim would no longer work? I will also give the louver  idea some thought. By the way what year vega hatches work or do they all and couold anyone give me some threads where someone has some pics, measurementsand tips on what to do and what not to do when installing a window plug. Thanks again

My  . it really depends either one your skills or how deep your wallet is, either way it's still a clone. Sorry guys , I'm just not a fan of clones.

Ok, flame suit  is now on

[daytonalo]

YOU MUST BE RICH  AND CAN AFFORD A REAL ONE OR THE SKILL OF ONE OF JERRY'S KIDS AND CAN'T  BUILD ONE !! WHICH IS IT ?

[troy.70R/T]

well I am the kind of guy that still turns his head when l look at a doctored up charger or a doctored up pair of, They just seem to grab your attention anyway. 

[BigBlockSam]

either way it's still a clone.

you forgot to put , only a clone.
