Any updates on this project?
The stanchions look terrible without the engine covers installed. I would love to hack them off but can't bring myself to go cutting on a car this rare. Also there are numerous benefits to keeping the covers in place (adds rigidity to the gullwing, keeps glass clean and safe, reduces glare, etc...)
If you could build a threaded bore on the rear hatch, and insert a threaded rod into the stanchion, then they could be quickly removed or installed.
Although fabricating those parts and making them fit nicely is much easier said than done.
