Got the front & rear screens fitted today, thanks to Jerry with his acrobatic skills in juggling his body round the funny car cage to fit the lower rear screen nuts :D

Photos are from my phones, rather than camera, so quality not so good...

Awesome :salute:

I guess you wont be needing a heater in there.... all that black with only a tiddly little opening in the driver's side window :shock:

I presume also you wont want to be using the wipers if at all possible, on that polycarbonate/perspex/lexan screen? Or do you think it will resist being scratched by the wipers? :?

Thanks for all the kind comments.

Steve - I have satin black Billboards, just can't make my mind up at present.

Robtwin - yes definitely don't need a heater, even less with the internal central heating piping :D

I use Rainex on the front screen & try to avoid using the wipers. Not ideal, but I treat the windows as disposable items. This will be the 3rd set in the car, I was fortunate to obtain a little stock pile of Polycarbonate, so been lucky thus far.

Dunc - Plan is to test the car at the track next month at the Pod before the Finals. Mainly to map the EFI when under boost, learning how to stage the turbos, so no full on passes, more or less launches, 60ft's, mid track
Subject to getting fuel pump installed, which I hope will be here Thursday....

I should call the Cuda Amy, this is the 2nd time 'Back to Black' :D
