    I am sure you guys can tell what car this body became? This is the windshield stands how they looked as I was fabricating them for the second time.

    Might have been better looking if it was lower, but the car is for driving...

    Here are a few from a file I have ***led "Odd." While it's not what I strive for, I appreciate the individuality.

    I don't know anything about Gary Heliker other than he created a tough looking T.

    Paul's 27. The windshield is a key feature on this car. The trial cardboard is great.

    YES. Thank you for this thread. Laying back my windshield a bit is on the To-Do List for next winter.

    Proportions, it's all about proportions. Perfect windshield height to me.

    Cool! I've been thinking about this car. I've got a similar photo saved, somewhere. Got anymore? Some detail pics would be great. It's a sharp set-up.
