Spray it flat black, put on an old skool leather helmet and some WW1 aviation goggles and go have fun.

When I raked my windshield I made a template to get things correct and even on both sides, I am sure you could use the wing windows to do the same.
I would also temporarily mock up the rubber between the window and frame to make sure things meet up correctly before you weld anything in place.
I also have some step by step pics on how I re-attached my windshield frame in the middle of page 6 and the bottom of page 7 of my build thread (link in my sig).

Absolutley! Thats how im getting it to my buddys shop to weld. Satin black is a must.

That is actually where i got the idea in the first place. And plan on using your interior cage as a guidline for mine as they are both somewhat vertically challenged. Is there any thing you would do differently if you were to build the cage again??

Thanks for the tip. The Ankle Biter is truley a work of art (IMG:style_emoticons/default/cheer.gif) i cant wait to see it finished. Any input as to structural strength w/o targa and the most simple fix? ( i usually wouldnt ask that question to an engineer but you have deffinatly made it abundantly clear that you are not just a "looked good on paper" type of guy).
