Nicely Done. I hope my next project will be a Speedster. Once I'm finished my Sport Coupe. The windshield looks like it may have started out as a Jag 120 or 140 OTS frame. or handmade after a Duvall style frame. Neat, I like it. I'm not a wood guy so I appreciate the work.

In fact, I made patterns for the three uprights for the windscreen in Customwood and had them cast in bronze. The glass sits in a standard vintage car windscreen channel bent to shape and then bonded into rebates in the castings with JB Weld.
Time will tell as to whether JB Weld is strong enough?
