OK, here is a revised analysis of my attempt to build single side glass for my Pantera. kimk was correct, my first pattern was too large and won't fit. I continued to trim the pattern until it was able to move it up and down freely when attached to the lift mechanism. I also shaved the rear edge of the pattern because the rear post and window guide angle changes once inside the door. The front corner of the glass has to be held approximately 1-3/4" short of the corner created by the SS window trim. That empty triangle, could be filled in by a 2' deep, lined triangular black metal cup which allows the glass to slide forward as the window is lowered. My next step is to build plexiglass windows and deliberate my decisions. If that works and is to my liking, I'll look at glass. Sometimes the excitement of the moment needs time to mature into a sound decision.
