Thanks guys! School and work just havent allowed me to work on it much as of late. I always work on it by myself as time allows. I may hit up some of my Pittsburgh peeps to come down and help me one weekend after finals though. Try to knock out the windshield!

Well I got back from finals today and I was motivated so I went out to work for a bit. Sorry the pics arent all that clear. My camera is still packed.
Took this one to show how far in the new windshield is going to come in.

Scott just so you know, there can be issues about your windscreen if you put it on the inside of that frame and donīt have any part inside the frame.

I think what he is saying is if you bolt the 4" of plexi to the frame on the inside part of the cab then it will be more than 4" away from the factory screen location. It would be the depth of the frame plus 4". That's how I took it at least.

It comes in no further than any other extreme vehicle currently competing. The inside of the frame is actually in the same location as the factory windshield line. The plexi can be four inches thick and is going to bolt onto the inside of the frame. Perfectly legal

I know of a car that was build like that, but they only had 6cm (~2.5")thick glass and they where told to add 4cm (for a total of 4" thick glass) on the outside of the car, "inside the frame" (<-Hope you follow me )to be within the rules.
I guess the thought is that you shouldnīt be able to build a frame thatīs very thick just to move the glass more into the cabin.
I would ask several judges before I continued working on the windscreen if I where you.
