There are GTP car windshields available from kit car manufactures for about $3,000 US.These seem to have the best aerodynamic attributes of any laminated safety glass ( a must in the USA ) windshield available at any price.This is on my shopping list for the Dodge D-100 project.To use this glass will require major surgery to the cab,something I'm will to do with the Dodge.--------- In the meantime,I have a rear windshield from a 1995 Camaro/Firebird which may find it's way into high speed air on the front of the T-100.---------- The EV-1 had a beautiful full wrap-around semispherical windshield,however,because of it's demise,we no longer have access to that speed/mpg equipment.What a loss!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
