Urba Centurion Update - (Kubota diesel, 100+ MPG in mixed driving - Fall 2012 on)

That's a mean-looking car all of a sudden. I think Centurion turned evil

Could the centurion be extended into a station wagon shape? Allowing for a sleep area to be made , allowing the car to be used for travel.

The lexan itself measures 1ft x 2ft. The trim around it is approx 2" in width...

Lol! Some things get meaner as they get older! (A quote from the original Gumball Rally!)

Sure. The magic is in the hands of the builder. Keeping in mind that the roof towers at about 40-41 inches, and there isn't a ton of room between that, and the top of the frame especially where the rear differential would be. As a wagon, two people of larger stature sleeping side-by-side might need to be wedged in with vaseline and a shoehorn.

It was the easiest windshield removal I've ever done! Basically none of the urethane adhered to the glass and only marginally better to the window mounting flange.
-

-
-
Using a couple of pieces of memory foam does a nice job of evenly distributing the pressure across the windshield while it's being prepped for installation.
-

-
-
Halfway through the process this interesting bug stopped by to inspect the job.
-

-
-
With a "brand name" (MMM) of urethane applied to the mounting flange the windshield was ready to be set back into its home. A new rubber trim seal was also fitted as a little extra protection against leaks.

Another easy job completed and the job site Manager approves the work!

It's early November and we're getting a last blast of heat!
This is good and this means a few more test runs for Centurion in preparation for the 2016 Green Grand Prix.
-
Running around New York this summer to the car shows were excellent opportunities to meet new people, hear new ideas, and set a couple of new personal records on the public roads.
-
Anything can happen between now and next year, but barring any unforeseen circumstances, Centurion will be at the next Green Grand Prix.
-
And she is running really, really good!
