Restructured the passenger side door, and started structuring the center console.

It looks so good with the glass in place, it really transforms the car.

Restructured the gas cylinder area for more tire clearance.  Mounted wipers, and mounted clutch cylinder.

Live and learn.  Changed where the gas cylinders for the doors go based on others builds.  Now the doors open and close easy peasy!

I had not glued the hood together, and so it was sagging in the middle, and making the gap look much worse.  Once i fixed that and moved it down there basically is only enough gap for the wipers. I will throw the hood back on and take some pics for you.

Ok, after a lot of searching I have settled on a minivan windshield...2008 Toyota Sienna.  Sides need cutting, and some fab work at the top of the hood, but it does not look half bad, and the arc at the top is almost perfect.

What work does the top of the hood need to make this windshield work?  I wonder how well, or not, this windshield will work with my kit....

By the way, you are making great progress while mine is collecting dust

My mistake. I think I'd looked at your first windshield pic before you slid it down. It looked like there was a much larger gap.
 My windshield stops around where the bottom black frit paint starts on your windshield (as on the later pic).

From the model I have it is only 1" shorter than what I have as OEM, 41" top to bottom.  Curvature is darn perfect. It also has the cut away on the drivers side for the wipers.

Did you ever look at a 2000 Infiniti i30 windshield? My kit was modified to use it specifically. It's close to OEM but about 6" shorter at the bottom.... similar to what you appear to be using.  I'm not sure if it would be easier to tweak your window frame to take it instead of cutting glass. Just a thought.

That is a great idea!  What base glass did you use?

Thanks!

That is a very good fit. I cut mine at the local place that has a water jet cutting machine. No cracks :)
