Will you retain the Model A-ish visor in the front?

 

[DonnyRay]

I've already altered it. I left each corner the original length.

I removed about 4"'s from the center area of the sun viser. I left the front corners the original length. Neshkoro & Raidmagic critiqued my dashboard positioning earlier in this thread . I took a hard look & made a change. The top of the dashboard is LEVEL now. I liked what i saw & glassed it in to place. Thanks a million Neshkoro & Raidmagic for your honest opinions. You guys were spot on.

I wouldn’t say I’m spot on, just relaying my experiences. If I can help someone not make the same mistake as me, I think I did my job. It’s better to learn from someone else’s mistakes than your own!

And cheaper too!

A 2000 pound vehicle doesn't need much horsepower to get you in trouble. Just imagine 4-500 HP?

Build them lite and they will be fast! Also lees cost involved.

Power to weight ratio. You said it fluidfloyd

Looking good D-R. I don’t comment much around here, but I enjoy watching the builds and the thought you’re putting into yours is commendable.

Thanks WyoGeorge , Raid magic & Spanky for your likes. I plan to glass that half round piece of fiberglass to the inside of the roof. I'll drill some holes through the half round fiberglass & into the top of the windshield frame. Then i'll tap some threads into the holes to fasten down the front of the roof. My fiberglass insert arrived today. I purchased it from Spirit Cars in Flippin Arkansas. I'm going to make it work in my Big Boy body. Can i git a BIG BOY HOWDY from y'all ??

Got some photos of my Spirit Cars body insert modification : Another photo of my dashboard instrument cluster.

I removed my cast iron heads from my rebuilt 327 engine & bolted them to the scab engine block in my project car. I wanted to see how my stainless steel headers fit. I have a new pair of aluminum heads that are going on the 327 engine. Here's some photos :

I made 2 sheets of fiberglass by using 3/4 oz. mat, I use one layer of mat for each fiberglass sheet. The sheets are 22" wide by 28" long. The sheets are transparent & can be cut with a pair of scissors. The sheets are very flexible I used a piece of 1/4" x 30" x 24" of polypropylene ( resin won't stick to it).

What are those for?
