........If it's flat, are you planning to dome it and if so, how?.....
Mark,

Here's my trick to doming the rear window:

Close the rear clip and let the motor run and heat up the rear window. The warm motor will make the plastic droop in about 20 min. Open the rear clip and with a soft towel push lightly from the inside to get the desired dome. I then wedge a couple towels between the window and rear clip to maintain the dome while it cools. Let it cool down completely (the cooler the better) before removing the towels. It should now retain it's dome shape though many heat cycles. Hope that helps

So you've got 3 days, you're telling me you can't get that thing to move under its own power in three days??? YOu're a slacker!!

NOT!

Seriously incredible work Ron. It looks absolutely gorgeous and you're setting quite the benchmark for others to achieve. Very impressive and I hope to catch up on that side of the country soon.

Can't wait to see it run (but probably not as much as you!),
Chris

In my opinion Ron, u have done one of the nicest gt40 I've ever seen in the forum,congratulations.

Hope one day to have one as yours, with the same spirit and maybe same attention to details.

Ron, I second Paolo. Your car is absolutely awesome. I hope when I build mine some day, I can measure up to the hi standards you have set.

Congrates!
