The windshield is from the rear of something, I just cannot figure out what.


I do know it should have remained where it was, because it sure looks like crap where it is....

Agreed KT. I am not a purist, but this is way too much. It looks like good craftmanship, but the bodyman was on acid.

Yikes!

While there are a few things about it that I don't hate, I can't get past how terrible the A pillar/windshield execution is.

The workmanship does look pretty slick though.

What are you gonna do?
