OK, It's a driver
And who do you think got to drive first [S, damn I'm a nice dad. [cl
Needs some tuning and maybe muffs and new rear tires, with no upholstery it's quit loud
After three trips around the block we headed down the road for a 20 mile round trip to the market and we made it back.[cl
and you can hardly notice the windshield cracks at all [S
Yes it's a driver but a long way from being close to done and only a little over a year in the back yard.
If your wondering about the funny old knobs, my late oldest brother had a little business making them and I decided to let him have a ride. [cl

Looks great! I think the knobs are awesome, and they're even better with a story behind them. Just be prepared for the uninformed to not get it and make stupid comments about them.
I must admit I wasn't sure about the shortened look when I first saw your build but now I think it looks awesome! Keep up the good work!

Congratulations on the first ride.
Love the "Hirohata" style knobs as I plan on using some like that on my custom.

Was going back over the build, and DR we're only starting #4 next week but as I said I found a source to get them at $41.17 each [cl

Have you tried scoring it? I had the glass cut for mine, all they did was score it both sides and lightly pulled up and down to crack it, and used a broken tape measure tape to cut the laminate. Once cut they shaped the corners and smoothed the edges with a 80 sand disk made for glass. Maybe curved glass is different as mine is flat. But that's what I witnessed. They did all 4 of mine for 120$

RickyBob, that's how we did the least cracked one, and yes the pros make it look easy and yes flat is easier than curved. For some sick reason I like a challenge [S
