It's already been done, with far better execution. Back in 1963, I think.

Take a second look and you will see that, actually, its a completely different shape and proportion when compared to the '63 split window. I think that a closer copy of the '63 might look a lot better.

It looks too much like a cheap add-on (which is basically what it is). Definatly a downgrade.

Nothing I would be interested in!
I never liked the 63 split window either. That's why I owned my 63 Vert for 32 years.
