Can you glue a triangulated piece just above the floor in both corners to screw into leaving the windows unobstructed?

It's slightly awkward because those corners are not 90 degree angles; see photo below. Plus you have to get rid of all the excess double-sided tape and the side window edges are very close to where the mounts would be fitted.

My idea, which won't be better than Pete's, is to glue in a mount on the flat end of the car and provide for a single screw through it to hold the rear of the car's body in place. That means drilling through the metal frame and possibly cutting away a small part of the interior molding but neither is any big deal.  On mine I am planning on fitting an illuminated tail sign near that position so some of the body will have to be trimmed away in any event.

Hi Hancock, were you able to finish your "City of Los Angeles" tail sign?  

I'm finishing a new flat/blunt end for my K-line passenger car and was looking for some ideas on the CoLA tail sign.  Did you make your tail sign with plastic or aluminum?  As you suggested in a previous post I'm going to print my own graphics but did you use micro LED's or 3mm in your sign?  If so, how many LED's?

Thanks,

COLA sign 2
