I have been looking at the "Jalousie Windows for a Vanagon
Article" at:

http://www.everybus.com/dworkin/vgon_jalousie/

and would like to undertake the project. Has anyone ever
tried this? I have a few questions...

1) I am assuming that the 1 5/8 radiuses be cut in all four
corners of both sides (inside and outside of the window) is
this right?

2) Is there a reason why the 1 5/8 radiuses cannot be cut
prior to assembly?

3) Could't the inside window stock be done from a 42 3/8" x
16 11/16" with a hole cut, and similarly the outside window
stock be done from a 42 3/8" x 16 3/4" with a hole cut (using
the strip widths as a guide for the hole size). Having them
one piece would increase materials cost, but wouldn't it be
stronger?

4) Why is there a 1/16" inch difference between the height of
the inside and outside window stock? Is it flush on the top
or bottom and the 1/16" stick out on another side or is there
an extra 1/32" on top and bottom?

Thanks,
Chris
