If the USFRA had allowed me to run it in 2012,I would have done the integration and figured out a way to transport it to,and attach it at Bonneville.But they said no dice!
For September this year,I'm going to make a sheetmetal or composite vignette of the wrap-around windscreen to test at DARKO.
R.G.S White gave it the A-Rating in 1968 and I want to see if it shows,drag-wise.
Here,VW is using the wraparound glass on their VW 2000 of 1980

Ditto for some of today's bigtime boy racers

(the evil Phil Knox has considered doing the integration anyway,installing the backlight as a 'bug-deflector' over the existing DOT windshield,with it's own wiper/washer system just to get some mpg data).And beg for forgiveness if any eagle-eyed constabulary catches on and wishes a roadside chat.
My biggest concern would be very weird internal reflections between the two screens.
