Before you get too carried away, could I talk you into that "splash"?

Lookin' good

Joe..... I think I missed your post ....not sure when you said that ! I do have plans of making "parts" to work with a sebring windshield. PM me what your timeframe is and what your thinkin.

Boz

Man i love this project ! Bozzie how many layers thick is your glasswork typically ?

Nice work. That's a load of work hours put into it. Are you building this car for someone else?

Hello Tony ! How ya doing ? Typically my average is 4 layers of glass. Sometimes I try to keep it lighter in non stress areas or areas that i'll support later with 3 layers. When I make my sheets to build panels there usually 2 layers so I can work with them and after there shaped i'll add the final 2 layers. If there complex bends then Ill make a sheet of 1 layer... its real thin, and twist and shape it. I use Formica sheets like Archie does, and sometimes Formica shelving that i'll put together in a 90 degree to make bend shapes. Gotta Mc'Gyver it sometimes !!

Hi Boz,
Just to add clarification to our esteemed colleague's question, What weight glass are you using? and, typically how thick are you making it?

Bob

Joe, So Sorry I missed that ! I got your PM, and ....also to Bob / RCR. As things progress here by the fall time I will me making a part for the Sebring windshield. I have a few parts cars that I can test it on. Also, on BOTH your builds they are a tremendous inspiration for me as I love to watch your journeys as well. Bob, as far as thickness's go. I use 1 1/2oz fabric , which is .045 thick. Most of my parts come out between 1/8 and 3/16" thick. On some parts that need reinforcement I go as far as a 1/4" The more shapes the part has I can stay at around 1/8 because the shapes make it stronger. Parts like the rear bumper are 1/4" Air ducts 1/8, rear hips and hatch 3/16 average. Hope that answers it !

Build ON !!
