It is legal in NH. Must wear eye protection, it is sort of a grey area in the NH laws however I have asked three troopers and all say eye protection with original inspection sticker. = Good!

Friend here in town drives his Elva with comp screen. I do have a windshield which will go on and off pending length of drive or until I am sick of bugs in face.

I will run screen till otherwise fined...... LOLOL

confused ....

so you think I can run the comp windscreen w/ eye protection & orig sticker ..... exactly how do I do this ( the orig sticker is on the real windsheild - legally palced, how do I get a carry version for the short windscreen or are we talking like a bike, keep it in your pocket .... if I take it too work I am 100% sur eto get popped in Groveland, MA so I gotts be right on w/ answers ( esp. considering they all let me skate on the front plate thing as it is ) .... fyi, the big motor is in the car 528/538 hp / 494-/502 ftlbs !!!!!!!!!!

Doors are awsome! Panel Craft has done a great job with this project and it will certainly be a huge improvement!

You have been very helpful. But I need one more dimension - the width of the spring tower where the spring rests. I am planning on building a spring perch but don't know how wide (deep?) it is. I'm assuming it's between 5 and 7 inches wide

Nice to see it in the driveway certainly a variation of what we drive. Keep up the good work.

This is exciting!!

Jeff,
Might we see this running at the Cook Out? Would be very cool. After you get it back from the paint shop just send Danielle and the kids away for a week or two.....no problem then....except maybe for work. See you soon.

Ron

:CRY: :CRY: Painter went on vacation till mid-next week :CRY: :CRY:
Car is all in primer, couldn't bring myself to picture.... First go around with primer left a couple slight suspect areas which needed a bit more work. Now all on point! At least ready to paint.

Still working other details though....
