Without the rolled edges and inside doubler bezel/pinch welds to stiffen it I'd be concerned the corner windows might pop out while driving, and will make finishing the inside a challenge. When something like this isn't seen much/ever and this one isn't finished there may be a good reason.

Are you really building it for him or for yourself? Like you said he doesn't look too thrilled by the idea.
No that really is his excited face! LOL. He helped power wash is and vacuumed out the inside. Any of my ideas are ran by him and he has final say.

I think I can handle any stiffening issues that need to be addressed. I was also contemplating making the rear window larger to match the lower line of the side windows. I think that would make the look..
