I don't particularly care for the split front windshield but to each his own I suppose.
He he thats the mold for support, the actual roof is identical to a steel roof.

how much weight loss over the steel roof ? Some glass fenders are heavier than the steels. Early Duster's for one were 4 lb more.
With all that work why not carbon fiber ? more expensive sure but ultra light would be easier to sell

My partner is actually making a carbon fiber Demon body right now to. With us making the molds for race only, we are keeping them as light as possible without having issues with stress. This is our first attempt. I haven't got a weight yet on the quarters.
We still are considering carbon fiber parts. It all just takes time. I will try to get a guesstimate on weight asap. The demon stuff is carbon , my cuda was just an atempt to be different. Don't quote me yet, but I believe my partner said the goal was under 125 lbs for the whole body with the lexan included.
