Nice bit of workmanship. Now when do we get to see the speedster.

Looks good. I hope it goes into production of sorts. I would buy one.

Looks mighty fine to me!

Glass obviously, but how did you cut it and what did you start with?

Trust me, I wouldn't even THINK of trying to do one of them on my own! LOL

I see you are in MI also. Feel free to use my 73' as a Guinea Pig. I have my windshield off at the moment, it would be perfect.
I'll put it on and test if for a yr or 10. Then I'll get back with you with a full page report.
Its the least I could do.
Deal?

Well, I'm very pleased people,thanks much, glad you like it. Yes it is glass,its my forth one,two died,ugly death. Yes I have thought of a limited production,it takes a LONG time to do one.I am looking into it though. jlaird when huh? Right now I probably have 8/9..unfinished resto's goin,kinda. The MGB speedster is something I started on..ummm 8/9 yrs ago.I also made a cool little set of wind wings for the windscreen,cuz I have a set of pull handle doors/sans vent windows,plus some great all steel flared fenders,rolled beaded edge,beautiful work,that I got from a SCCA MGB from the 60s/70s. Oh man just to much to say about what I have collected for this daydream. Been doin this stuff on/off for 40 yrs. I aint no spring chickie. One last thing,I have a 58 Lyman (wood lapstrake boat),OOh man....I love my boat, it really pulls me outta the shop! I feel like Marcello Mastriani,surronded by beautiful ladies.....kinda.
 
Understan, Lymans are beautiful workmanship and very nice lines like a boat should.
