Nice 100 Fastback Coupe

Share this page

I know I am about a decade late to the discussion but..... I've always been attracted to some of the 100-4 coupe examples. With new technology and scanning option, I think I will give it a go. One challenge is the windshield posts. For a "permanent" solution, I've wondered if the first series 100-6 windshield is the right dimensions. Does anyone know how the 4 and 6 windshields compare in width?
Thank you,
 
They are identical except the 4 has a more pronounced side curve. I know because I have had a 4 windshield on a 100-6 for 30 years. Both the 4 and 6 bottom frame pieces and the glass are the same curves and match the shroud. The top windshield frame piece and glass shape are identical - I use a 6 cylinder top frame piece which gives the forward lip for the hood (top) to hook over for my 6.
It's worth noting the stanchions (side pillars) in both cars use the same 3 bolts and bolt holes in the same location - totally interchangeable without any modifications.

Thank you! Just what I needed to know. Now I just need the windshield posts.
 
Sorry, but I'll take the factory version any day! This is too modernized. 🫣
