Jim Franz,

I am planning on making my rear windows removable in case of an accident as
well. Please let me know what you find out as I am coming up on that part of
the project. I was planning on making frames around the rear panes that
could slide backwards.

Marv,

An air nibber will do the job cutting the firewall material for you. a cheap
one can be found at Harbor Freight tools (they have a store now online) for
around $30 - $50. better ones are ~$200. the teeth sets can be very
expensive (you can get carbide) depending on what you need to cut. When I
cut SS with my tools they don't stay sharp long, so $30 to have it done for
you might be a good deal.

Scott
