My boy Matt came out to the shop with me and almost peed himself when I started to meka engine noises and pretend I was going someplace.

First question, how much did it weigh (this is for URY)

Second, I think the plywood might interfere with your line of site...but you could drill some hole in it, lighten it up and gain more vision that way....

I had thought of a bolt on windshield that could be take off once you arrive at the track....mmmm

I dont have any idea. It takes me and my boy to move what we cut out. It is some thick wall stuff. I am sure a new cage and the windshield arnt going to be as heave as that thing was.

When it had the cage I would put a I beam in the center of the cage and lift it with my engine hoist. It is 29 inches to the floor pan on the stand. Now that it is gone (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/huh.gif) I had to put my ramps from the trailer crossways under the tires and lift it with my floor jacks. It was touch and go for a bit (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/wacko.gif)
