    The Cliff Inman Joe Wilhelm built Chrysler uses a 1958 windshield. I built a sortofalike from a '58 Chrysler Saratoga with the PanoVista big rear window (300 and New Yorker standard - option on Saratoga and Windsor). Sadly it got flooded when 99.9% finished just before last Christmas. Flood Insurance refused to cover it and so now it sits - I have lost all enthusiasm and desire to redo the car after working on it for 15 years:(. If anyone is interested in it PM me. I will let it go for a fraction of what I have invested in it, but I am not giving it away....

    Here are some shots from a few years back:

    I would build a custom but do it your own way, not a clone. You are going in the right direction with the 341 hemi, but if your going to put it back to stock you are on the wrong board. I think we all know why you're here...
