From here it looks like that windshield is a perfect fit! What's your trick?

She is sitting high.. If it was lowered you would have to cut the wheel wells out?? I like the height, looks mean...

Thanks Guys!

For the windshield I just trued the opening a little, more like taking the waviness out of the edges.  Then I just trimmed the clear to fit.   The wind wings are the worst part of the fit, and the sections that connect them to the windshield need to be trimmed the most.  It is still a loose fit and while I planned to fill the gaps with canopy glue, I decided it is on par with the overall fit of the rest of the model so I let it go.

 

The instructions provide a template to cut out the rear wheel wells, but I was inspired by the Highboy look from the old Revell '54 Chevy box art.

And flipping the axle to the other side of the springs was also the easier way to deal with it.
