Saican; Might I suggest you consider using those windows anyway? You could cut some accent pieces for both inside and outside, sandwich them between the window and your 3/4" wall, thus giving the exterior a little texture, and could even paint them to enhance your final paint scheme. 5/8 plywood would be the correct thickness to do just that.

Just a suggestion.....Roger

Well, I wasn't suggesting the entire wall be 2 inches thick. Just the area around your intended window mounting points. A shape that might be vintage, but just a spacer, (if you will), that allows you to mount the thick window to a thinner wall structure. You can use the shape of the spacer as a "back-dating feature" to enhance the overall appearance, especially if you paint it a contrasting or accenting color.

Just my 2-pence.....Roger
