No matter whatever it is I eventually build, it will need a windshield. I'm thinking of using 7/8 to 1 inch square steel stock and milling a channel down the middle of it. What would I need to cushion and secure the glass with? Also would a glass shop be able to custom fit a piece of glass this way? None of the windshield frames for buckets catch my eye as "the one" and I'd rather just fabricate my own.
By the way, the whatever it is I'm building is looking more like a Track-T with the boat nose. Nothing is set in stone, because I keep redrawing it. As Telman2 pointed out, I need to take 3 steps back and rethink it. The boat-car wasn't looking right, and I don't want to go the same direction as the trikes went (me unhappy and sold both). Paper and pencils are cheap, and mechanical drawing is fun. So for this winter, I think I will keep sketching until the plan becomes clear.
I do have another question. The greater percentage of T-buckets are open wheel. How do you keep the road dust and water puddles off of you? There's still a lot of gravel roads around here, and I plan to use them. My two trikes had fenders and I'm undecided on if I still want to use the 33 Chevy Master fenders with my whatever it is I'm building that may or may not look like a Track-T with a boat nose. (ha-ha)
