October 31, 2004: A good day to be working on an orange and black car, really.
I spent the day working on the windshield. A pattern was cut out of 3/8" plywood and then sanded into shape. I'm not great with wood - not enough patience, if you'll believe it! - but I'm pretty happy with the end result. It's not a fine piece of furniture by any means but the shape is right. I used welding rod to transfer the shape of the scuttle to the plywood. That was the part that concerned me the most but the rod proved to be just the trick.
