Did they ever show how the windshield would be installed in the car? The way they welded the cage to the pillars would not allow the factory rubber seal to fit from what I can see.

I just did a windshield in my car and I don't see how you could use the factory gasket the way they welded those cage braces , of course you could just use urethane and stick the glass in like a new car.

It would be interesting to see what happened to the car. Seems like something happened to derail the project. Not that that ever happens to any of my projects! It's sitting in my garage on jackstands with the trans out of it. Needs a clutch and put back together. It's been sitting that way for 2 years now. I told them when it was being built that if it got out of hand and wasn't finished when I got it back it would just sit. It got out of hand, clutch was installed wrong and now it just sits. I've been spending my spare time with other programs now, so I have no idea when I'll get to this again. I really should just drop it off somewhere and have it finished... again.

Thanks for the update, I was hoping you would make it to Targa Newfoundland with it ...that car would be perfect for that event.

Still waiting for it to show up Why don't you just fly in for a few days and knock it out here? That's a lot cheaper than me shipping it across the country. Plus, if I have to actually package it all up to ship it, I'm sure it will just continue to sit. Zero time, crazier stuff to work on at the moment.

Life has had some interesting turns with amazing opportunities for me the last couple years. I built the Dart to run all the events, that I've currently been running... with other peoples cars. Weird how it has worked out. One of the reasons it's still sitting is because I've not needed it to run events. I've had other stuff available. Good for me, bad for the Dart, unfortunately.

If your luck is anything like mine, when you need the Dart it won't be ready because you didn't have time to take advantage of it's down time to get it ready because you were busy do what you do.
It's a catch 22
They say there are no such thing as a stupid question.
They say there is always the exception that proves the rule.
Don't be the exception.

Sometimes you end up doing things you never expect... I'm loading up one of my cars and leaving to Drag Week today... and I'm not even really interested in drag racing that much.

Probably be a good idea to keep the shiny side up
