    Loving this, looking forward to seeing more progress. Not sure I'm loving how thick the B pillar is now, but the proportions of the longer doors and shorter quarter windows is a huge improvement. Keep going!

    The B-pillar is a problem, with tilt or restrict is difficult to have right proportions...
    I still study...

    Thanks, I still have to decide how to proceed with the suspension but would be a great help!

    The B-pillar is heavy, but it suits the Kaiser. Sometimes an odd detail can become the "trademark" for a design. Something to think about.

    Here's how Kaiser solved the B-pillar problem: The Kaiser Virginian.

    They removed the B-pillar and replaced it with a little steel-framed window.
    The pillar/window could be removed completely when the front and rear windows were down for a true hardtop look.

    That looks just right. Thinner than before, but heavy enough to carry the visual weight of the car. I like it!
