I agree with you (obviously) the 1/2 height windsheild looks much better and
luckily the glass was broken out of my parts car so I didnt feel I was killing
a real good windshield. I am the 3rd owner locally of this car in race form
and folks who saw it befor are still amazed it is the same car. Mechanically
the car was done up right, but with the typical racers mentality of cosmetics
being secondary...It was a long winter and I like my toys to look good too.
Filled numerous body holes (the cowl alone looked like swiss cheese and had to
be completely glassed over) filled seams. Now granted it is still a race car
and it looks much better in photos than in person. But as the saying goes in
only needs to look good from 5 rows up at 100 mph :) I am told the local
british car show this year will have a race prepped catagory...so I guess that
will let me know how I did.
