I have ordered a new Beck Speedster. It will be finish in 5 month
Would any one knows,who build and install electric roll up window on these car?

After market,I know of no one who installs electric windows in the Speedsters. Factory built,Intermeccanica installs them in their Speedster and Roadster models.

You might try a local hotrod fabrication shop, but it'll all be custom work, and probably expensive. I replaced my side curtains with some windows I made from Lexan with moveable vents. While not as convenient as roll-up windows, they are a distinct improvement in visibility, ventilation, and weather sealing. They're also much less expensive.

Try Fibersteel sliding windows http://www.fibersteel.com/OldSite/SlideWindows.html

They've advertised those for years, but so far they appear to be vaporware. Every inquiry has been met with "They're not yet available."

Peter,

If you ordered from Beck, give them a call to see if they could install roll up windows while they are building your Speedster. That's the only way you have a chance to get roll up windows. I sure Cary has considered roll ups but the cost might be too great. Good luck

I know he did it once, and it was a royal pain. I've heard him say he wouldn't do it again. Good luck.

If the question is changing existing manual crank rollup windows to electric --- then there are several kits available. One actually had motor module that fits over the spline used by the winder crank.

If its adding windup to replace side curtains - then do a search here. It takes a lot of custom fabrication plus to gain maximum sealing - a new windshield, windshield frame, top, top bows and some fiberglass and painting.

Peter -

Here's a link to an inexpensive power-window conversion...

Peace - Out!

Greg and Jim, he's asking about conversion from side curtains, so it's major fab work. Not worth the trouble, in my opinion.

Hey Peter, what's the latest on your Beck built Subie powered 356?

Chesil in the Uk produce a wind up kit for windows, might be worth a look.

I don't think even I would try to do a side curtain to roll up conversion, I've looked at how CMC did it as an option and w/o a prefabricated "kit" it's just way to labor intensive. ~Alan
