Hey man, if you want me to spray it, I gotta get it tonight. I'm going to be in Philly from Thursday-Sunday.

 

[BRUISER]

Very very nice Ken. Seats look good sitting in there. How did you attatch the windshield?
I cant say thanks enough! It's really coming together now.

I drill 2 holes in top side of windshield and bolted a plate to that and the other side is welded to cage. that way windshield can be taken off if need be.

Sweet, we got it all worked out now.

This sucker is gonna be sweet. We need to nickname it "The Great Pumpkin" now with the color scheme we came up with.

You need to put a rubber bushing in there so the body can flex from the cage some of the windshield may get cracked if Dylan gets it airborne.

there is enough flex in the rusty/broke ass windshield hinge that it will not need it

Can somebody please get me a few pics of the top of the windsheild frame, along with the roof line of cage? I'd like to get started on that bikini.

Not to add any more work to the list, but as he said...it can't hard mounted to the cage or there will be problems.
The easiest and one of the best ways to do it is to put a small turnbuckle at each corner of the windshield to the cage. As such...

Just saying...less work for me to do when I win the bitch.

 

[Dylan W.]

I think what Ken did to the windsheild will prolly work. That hinge is in foul shape....if the windsheild does fly off..it will have that piano hinge attatched to it..lol

Those turnbuckles do look good tho...good idea there.

sweet...

 

[Dylan W.]

Wow..I can almost see my reflection in it! Definately looks good in black. Good job guys

 

[Blaze]

Sweet, with an orange interior and some orange accents this thing is gonna be killer.

I went and picked out a straight orange tint for the liner. You guys better like it, the tint alone cost me over $100.
