ok, been a tough week haha.. no sleep and wanting to leave work with race car on mind... racecaritis lol
i wanted to get the body done, back half. been looking at pics, looking at lines on the car etc to come up with idea on back side panel. i got the back side panel, middle panel, and cowl cut to shape and dzus'd. on the back side panel, after i establish windshield heigh ill cut back to face of bars at top of windshield and then ill radius the back part at the 90* and im going to roll the long angled back side a bit. i wanted to do a big roll but didnt leave enough so ill put a little one in for strength and to soften the look up a bit.
here are some pics of the windshield mockup. i wanted the windshield to look someone symmetrical all way around and follow the longitudinal cowl lines. after i cut the mockup out and taped back on, it slopes down on the back sides toward the cage but its parallel to the cutout. for height, i split from top of cowl at cage to top of back side panel; so its about 3.5 inch tall. you see a lot of different ideas with windshields on cars. i didnt car much for the ones that are real high in front so to have top of windshield level. i kind of wonder if i should make it taller and go all way up to top of side panel. if i did that, it would probably be about chin level at front of it. idk lol. decisions... decisions.
first time hammering out something, good thing i know a few body guys and have some bondo to fill in the craters.
im open to suggestions on windshield.
