This started as a five window Coupe from Mike Gradis. I got an second quality casting and had to replace the hole body so I took a roadster and with some (plastic) surgery It was in place, then the top chop was done and I´ll had to section it to get the right to. So would I do it again? yep I´ll do it again but this time with the 3 window Coupe witch is coming my way any day now.

Hi Frank

I´ll used 1,5 mm plasticard for the windshield frame. First I did a template in cardboard, used this template on a plasticard and carefully sanded down the outer edges to a nice fit, then I used a drill bit to take out the inner areas and just leaving the frame. Carefully sanded to shape. Had to do a lot's of dry fit to check the frame against the window opening.
