walls and windows

[SPLEclipse 10+ year member]

i've done quite a few walls in my time, but im doing my first one in a 4-door (my 2000 neon). the problem is that for me to physically drive the car the drivers seat has to be back past the B-piller. I dont have the tools to make angled cuts with any accuracy, so it looks like the outside edge of the wall will be against the rear windows, with about 3" of window in front of the wall face.

will this effect anything? any ideas on how to transition the wall to the b-piller?//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/crap.gif.7f4dd41e3e9b23fbd170a1ee6f65cecc.gif

angled cuts aren't too difficult to get to work if you can be patient, my first box was a wedge shape and all i had to cut with was a jigsaw. certainly not easy, but the box came out just fine

plus if I'm thinking of the same angles you're talking about, doing a wall like that would look SICK.

Cut out cardboard templates then put them in. Heres what my old build looked like.

buy some cheap posterboard and make a template. Should be able to use it for both sides.

Just takes a little time to get it right...

theres a build thread of when he built the actual wall as well. lots of helpful pics, could give you some good ideas, being its the same car.
