Thanks, thats some good info! One of the things I disliked about my panel after it was painted was the metal panel "insert" wasn't perfectly flat and being black it was kind of a let down.
I know it could be made flat, but I wasn't going to toss that kind of money at it.
I thought about cutting out that panel and having a someone put in a flange the depth of window glass and then gluing in a window like they do now days on vehicles. I was thinking about a piece of flat limo tint glass in there.
At this time the company I worked for had a glass shop next door, several old school guys in there. They told me no problem once I had the flange done (I was thinking everything as flush as possible to the window with no protruding seal would sort of keep it looking like a panel) they would make a template, have the glass cut and install it. Too bad everything comes at a price, it was more than I was willing to spend on something that might not have the results I was hoping for.
But now maybe doing it the way you showed wouldnt be such a bad thing with the upside it still has a panel-ish look but you could see much better out the sides.
I dunno, its still being worked on right now cleaning up the paint and misc bumps and bruises after sitting going on 20 years.
Boy I really went of on a tangent for a burb and panel finds thread ... Sorry guys haha!
