  18. Very nice. Tilting the windshield back a few degrees is a *huge* improvement. :cool:

    I'd like to see how you finished the rear half (and whats under the cover of the rear)
    Totally dig the car and the vibe of it is perfect!

    Thanks, yea I had a pair of T post left over and they really helped with the look of the windshield.
    The rear is now a trunk, the lid is hinged in the middle, took a lot of work to do the edges.
    I don't know if you can see what I did, but I took the window edge and cut it out, then put it all around the edge of the body to make a nice rounded edge for the body . hope the picture show,
