Oh wow....that accelerated quickly! Looking forward to seeing some finishing pics with the flush mounted glass. I know its not for everyone, and doesn't necessarily look right on every build, but I think this is going to look sharp!

Who made the flush glass windshield? I want that for my car.
I'd like to do flush glass in the rear also but I'm not a fan of the split window. Do they have a flush full rear window?

It’s not oversized glass. The windshield is stock size. Dynamic corvette makes a fiberglass insert that’s bodyworked into windshield opening then the glass is bodyworked to fit. Challenging.. pm me for more info.
