November 1, 2004: The windshield glass is cut!
I'm impressed. The glass shop (The Glass Brokerage in Grand Junction) quoted about $36 to cut the screen and said it would be done "maybe today, might be tomorrow". Three hours later they called up and told me it was done - and the final price was only $31. Now that's a company I like to work with!

I've put up a diagram of how I arrived at the shape for my windshield. One thing to note is that the CMC scuttle was close but not quite symmetrical. I'd recommend careful shaping! Tomorrow I'll build a tool to bend the aluminum extrusion as suggested in the Locost book - one of my rare uses of the tome - and see how that works out.
