    Thumbs up

    I say cut, have the body shop cut off the windshield frame. It's just dead weight and you can do an impression of Jeremy Clarkson driving the Ariel Atom.

    Sounds like a good project, I can't wait to see it done!

    We had been working with razor blades to cut through the gorilla snot for about 30 minutes, and we were a little less than half way around. I had done the whole passenger side and about halfway across the top on the passenger side. I gently pushed in the top passenger side corner to see if it had any give, and to make it easier to get the blade in. Then Pop. A 1/4" star formed under my thumb and a crack went straight down about 10 inches. Bean looked like a family member had died... but then he grabbed a sledgehammer and got a huge smile on his face. I had told him 30 minutes earlier that we should call it a night and hit the nudie bar, but he just had to have the windshield out.

    I also agree with the orange. However, don't be surprised if I do the same thing one day!

    White circles on doors, hood, trunk for magnetic numbers.

    You'll need plastic cling numbers for the hood though.

    ...or be a stud and just paint the numbers on. Go with 88 and you can use white tape to create any numbers.

    I tried floating the idea of perma-meatballs on the car... but I don't know if I can sell myself on it.

    the perma-meatball on the hood will have to be magnetic paint...

    Bean...That is the Orange car I was talking about Saturday night. That is what I would do, but I think if it was me I would skip the meatballs and/or stripe. Not that there is anything wrong with the white... just not my style.
