Thanks for the complients on the garage too! That was my last year's project. I agree I wouldn't have built it with that windshield either, but as you can see, i really don't have a proper facility to do any paint work, and have a nagging feeling that some serious paint repair work will be needed when i pry that windshield off the fresh black paint on the cowl... makes me sorta cringe to think about hogging up the paint on my new car the same week i got it home... I'm wondering if i can make some sort of top header out of aluminum or stainless to sorta "frame" the windshield and make it look a little better... not sure where i can get some U shaped channel that would work, but its another thought i had as an option to not prying that glass off the cowl.
