I just cannot get into the slant back. However, if they made a cap like rear cover that matched the SUV...that I would get in to!

While at it, how hard would it be to make a cover for the bed that was easily removable? this would be much easier to build and profitable

I think if everyone will search there was a thread about someone trying it. I'm not sure if anyone tried. I know a carpenter made on offer to build one but, do not know where it went.
I think what We would do is build a mold and even though it would be painted use carbon fiber and honey comb type cardboard to lay it so it would be strong and light.
I'll talk to the guys after the weekend about it. We are trying to finish up for a contest week from friday and last one of the year until I think March 2006. Allot to do next week and Sikkens is excited about the Shop Boss paint design and is furnishing all the paint Dragon told Me tonight. We have left inside is 12" monitor and installing the 4 captain seats that Katzkin sponsored the covering. Plus a bunch of LED's and billet.
If I can remember I'll ask Boss what he thinks but, as far as material and possibilty Dragon would know more than any of Our crew as he went of to school for all that stuff and is certified A/V man.

You could always run a rear cam to a SAVV mirror or other monitor that constantly stays on for the rearview.

Your rear view is practially destroyed anyways. With the rear tire carrier, and the reflectivity of two glass elements (the rear window AND the slanted glass of the hatch), you have literally zero view of the back.
Trust me on that one - Both Carey Harkness and I have really good experience with bad visibility and slantbacks. A wiper will help minimally, and a defroster element would make it impractical to take the slantback shell off and on.
If you were to make the shell weathertight AND insulated (for noise reduction and temp control), you could remove the midgate window to help.

Once my H3 build is done, you can guys can use my SUT if you want. LOL, I am in Denver though.
I did find and install on this somewhere (I can't remember were though). Anyhow, they removed the plastic on the backside and attached where all the marker lights go and than to the bed rails. I know of three that were built and that they are were all custom according to that manufact. company in Canada. The hardest part would be to have rear window efroster elements and rear wiper to make it practical. If it were to snow or ice up, you would have no rearward visibility. I had a shop in Denver quote me $8500 to do it without the wiper/defroster and three weeks of my truck being tied up. I think even at $5K would be hard to market these. IT is something custom and at this point there are ZERO companies with plans to do this with such a limited market. I'm not sure on how many SUT's have been sold, but my guess is not enough to mass produce????
The CANBACK would be another cool option too. I think it would be way cheaper to make and more functional. Canvas, fittings and some AL. and your done. Again, that protoyype was never realized and could be easily.

I'm hoping to have pics in Dec. or Jan. at the latest. Dragon and I are hiring professional photographer to take Pic of His Celica and MY H2. We have Mags wanting some to see before putting them in the mag. Our shop Boss is a bike freak and His motorcycle is looking like it will be in a mag. He was redoing His bike when We got wind that it may happen.
I do have what it looked like in the pic thread. I think it is under Rick's Stealth Gray
It will still look simialr but, Dragon and I just keep hearing from the shop Boss that I will like the paint job Dragon could tell You more on the mumbers but, paint and labor is most likely $10,000 and I could be way off either way. I just know they are not holding back on what is being done. Dragon is running the interior design and electronics with Our computer buddy David and there is not the most expensive stuff but, allot of sponsored items.
Infinity sponsored the full sound in their component system so We can show people how it sounds with all their product. Dragon has figured out how to get door chimes to work without having a speaker hooked to the Bose amp. WE have gone with a Infinity amp up front. So if anyone needs it i will be selling My complete Bose sytem and many other things. I'll put a list up on classified later.

Use the find button for "slantback."
I gave up on this. I even tracked down the manufact. of the three that are in extistance and no luck. They will not produce it without some paying for the tooling costs. BS is what I said!

First of all, Firm is a bigot.
Second, I'd love to have a slantback. Then I could pose as an H1.
