*Sneak Preview*

AleroB888 · 07-02-2011, 02:25 AM

Adapting a design for an interior rear window shade I originally constructed back in '93 for my leased Saturn SC2:

Car sits out in the sun a lot more now, and I don't want to put a heavy tint on the glass.

Goal is to make louvers barely visible, or at least unobtrusive. Functionality is a must, convenience would be a plus.

Should be done next year, sometime (

We had a guy that was in the Canadian military that was doing something like this to his car that was going to be like a race car. He got shipped off to the Middle East and haven't heard from him since then.

Make it easy to take out and put in man. Got a feeling cleaning the back glass with that in there would be a real PITA!

wow I will follow this build. Nice to see that someone is doing something no one else is doing.

Eh_nigma. He scrapped his project a while back and was moving on to something else.

His interest changed..

Nice!!!
Can't wait to see this but why the long wait... next year?

Ok, moving along, another prototype

Made an adjustment to grade of the "steps," still not quite right. Need to construct a center mount, if possible from the rear deck.

Final version will most likely be flat black, white is good for illustration, though. Not too bad since it matches the car.

JLw7123 · 07-14-2011, 01:51 AM

wow the prototype looks good.

hok666 · 07-14-2011, 05:37 AM

drag strips require it as a safety precaution.

Now some minor changes to report, latest version is 3/16 foamboard instead of thin cardboard, cleaned up the spacing of the steps. I made a mistake on the very first cut, and had to recut the first step smaller width and larger spacing. But the main reason the bottom can't fit flat is the speaker grills stick out and interfere.

I will let that slide for a while, though, till I get tired of the sloppy look. Next need to remake the support bracket, and see how it wears.

I like it. It's a very unique mod that I haven't seen on an Alero. Way to keep it original

Papa Rad17 · 08-08-2011, 02:52 PM

pimpalero2003 · 08-08-2011, 04:15 PM

unchained01 · 08-08-2011, 06:36 PM

hok666 · 08-08-2011, 09:00 PM
