    I just bought a 34 fibergl*** roadster that looks similar to street beast but is not street beast.my question is I would like to cut off the fibergl*** windshield frame and install either a metal frame windshield or a duval windshield.I realize that there will probably be some fibergl*** work to be done to smooth out the cowl

    Has anyone done anything like this and is it even possible.thanks jimbo

    Is your car a cabriolet? That would have an integral part of the body around the chrome frame. I think Street Beasts made cabriolets too.

    If you have a cabriolet, that type of body would take a lot of modification to fit a roadster windshield frame and posts to it. It could be done, but consider how the front of the doors will match up to the cowl. I'd suggest gathering a bunch of pics of roadsters and cabriolets before you gather up the saws. Study it through in your head. It's not a common modification, if ever.
