Nice! Did you just cut a flat sheet yourself, or is someone supplying pre-cut rear windows for our cars? It doesn't seem like there's any real curve in it.
Also, another random question: anyone tried running our cars without power steering? I've been reading about doing this to (other models of) track cars, seems like it's a nice way to shave more weight and complexity, and it's only annoying at parking-lot speeds. The basic idea being to remove the PS pump and reservoir (and electronics and cooler and tubing, etc), and just loop the fluid lines down at the steering gear box (filled with... grease instead of PS fluid?). The pulley system would then be down to just crank + alternator, not even sure how you'd route the belt at that point.
