In another OCD moment I noticed the windshield was weird looking so I changed it. The bottom edge is too tall making the window short and the instrument panel hood too tall. The other issue I noticed is the space between the window and the hood was very tight. The solution is to cut out the top of the hood to lower it so I can fit a nice lexan windshield in there. The Mustang has a very iconic cockpit and the front area will look better after this is fixed up. The armor plate at the bottom has a radius edge and from 3/4 front view makes a sort of S line with the side windows. The stock windshield frame is just wrong so I had to fix it!
