  1. Hi! Most kits, whatever the brand, have glass units that mount from the inside of the body, and rare are those that are beveled to "slide in" the opening. I see what you are looking for, the "flush fit" look. Well, my friend, you'll have to sand and trim to obtain that look. It's possible, just a lot of work (see pic). CT
  2. Hi! For one, the second thing I verify after I establish stance and rake with the rolling stock is... The fit of the kit glass! Indeed, it is frustrating if a nice build gets marred by poorly fitting glass. The culprit is most often the windshield, and sanding, bending and other measures are often needed. I resit the urge to adjust the glass SURROUND (posts, cowl and roof) to the actual glass. I do the opposite. And I always separate one-piece glass unit to its multiple sections, for ease of adjustment. Good luck! CT CT
  3. Hi! A few that I've built over the last three years... CT
  4. Hi! I recently read "Who owns this sentence? ", an interesting survey of the story of copy rights around the world, and how the new electronic media muddied the water. You discover that not much in this world is "public domain" anymore. Oh well... CT
  5. Hi Dave! Thanks for the pics, very interesting. The paint jobs on the low riders are impressive! CT
  6. Thanks Bob! Having driven a Spyder myself twice, I must say it is NOT a motorcycle, more like an item for those who do not wish to master the art of riding a motorcycle, while still riding with their friends. Oh well... CT
