just noticed u glassed over the escape hatch, think I`d put it back in there. what if you wanted out in a hurry? when I`ve had a wreck, the first thing is ---I WANT OUT !
The roof was so badly mangled that it no longer was close to having the correct contour. I used a combination of clamps, jacks, and braces to hold it in place when I started laying fiberglass. It had really sunk in around the roof opening.
The escape hatch that was there wasn't hinged. All they had was a Lexan panel that was held in place with some snap buttons. Whether or not I wanted to keep the roof filled I had to fill it to regain the shape. I've been debating the question of putting a hatch back in. The original cars didn't have them. I thought about the need to exit in case of fire but the car will be pretty mild compared with the nitro burners and I won't be pushing it to it's limits. Once the roof is back in shape I'll probably make one anyway.
