    With those 2motors you certainly will never need to worry about doing "wheel stands"!!! That's somewhere close to 1400lbs(that's 625Kg !!!) at least in the motors alone, not counting the rest of the vehicle!!

    Love it. You know, you could probably carry an Austin in the boot for urban travel.

    Car & Classic has an add for windshield ( windscreen ) for a 1960 Cresta PA for 45 pounds. Guy says he bought it for a spare. Ad was posted March this year. Just saying. By the way, I got out my American English to Queen's English dictionary and I can't find any definition of " scoopyness "o_O. Enlighten me, please.

    Start of the rear roof section, this will be removeable to keep all options open................

    Set back bulkhead/scuttle for extended hood, hinges will mount to this, it also makes a good place for a tool kit

    Just thought of another possible wrap around windshield. How about using a rear window from a 1975 to 1981 Camaro or Firebird? Uncertain as to how legal a tempered windshield would be but the hot rod from the Elvis movie, "Loving You" used a Chrysler back window.
