Got the glass in!  :cheers:

Also, the marquee and info panel are in this pic.  However, the marquee light is too far back in the cab... will prob. move that forward a bit.

(Sorry for the blinds in the reflection of the glass).

Generic Eric:
Do you have a picture of how you mounted the glass?  I am over analyzing this and haven't made any progress.  The plans I am using didn't account for that, so I am trying to figure it out. Thanks.

maffewl:
I don't have any pics, but can take some if you need.  Here is a crude section that I created that describes how I installed the glass so please don't laugh.  Hope it helps, if not let me know and I'll take a pic of whatever you need.  The nice thing about this is that the glass is super easy to remove if I need to, but is very sturdy for play.

Also, its hard to see in that section but it's supported on the bottom by the same 2x4's that support the T.V. shelf.  on the sides it's supported by 3/8" poplar sticks nailed to the mdf.

Generic Eric:
No, that is great.  I already have some ideas now.  Thanks for the post.

Similar to how I plan on mounting mine,.. only real difference will be that I plan on using a folded/bent bit of anodised alumimium (aluminum?) for the bottom front of it to hold it in, i.e. for the piece labelled "Info panel".
