Windshield and wipers

[Bakerboy]

Hi, I’m from New Jersey and I’m trying to register my car that was previously registered in a different state, and of course motor vehicles is giving me a hard time, they told me I need a glass windshield and wipers and I need some type of a protection cover for the exhaust so no one gets burned on a hot exhaust, they said that a child could go up to it and touch it. Does anyone have any ideas for windshield and wipers?

A few of the locost and seven folks used a hand crank wiper for inspection. It clips on to windscreen and then they store it for the next years inspection.

Also, some used a cigarette lighter plug in operated wiper. also took them off and stored for next year.

Some have used those pretty metal screen sheets for covering the mufflers - like those screens for a house door. Lowes, Home Depot or hardware stores. Make a bracket to mount about a half - three quarter inch out from the muffler.

Just throwing it out there.

Thank you so much I have to research for those wiper kits to plug in cigarette lighter, that sounds like a great idea.

I also have wipers from my donor Cobalt... those could be reused with smaller wiper blades.

I also have my wipers from my donor but those would probably be too big.

No one is selling ready to go windshield kits. If you aren’t a somewhat skilled fabricator, you might need to find a shop to do it. Or look into doing a Montana registration.

Ross, got any pics of a windshield on a track frame?

Well there are pictures of my car with a prototype windshield here.

Nicholas Tiratsuyan has wipers, glass? windshield and a track frame:

Most people just use the DF windshields on the track frame.

The pictures above are all the cars with wipers that I know of.

Dan Perry just used the A pillars to lay polycarbonate on.

JBINTX modified his windwhield to get more air into the cabin

Has anyone ever tried this company for a price on a custom windshield?

Nice find. Let us know what the quote comes in at. My windscreen is 24"x64" if you need rough sizing, but glass would probably be 24"x48"

Doing a little reading for a custom windshield they usually want a metal form of the windshield sent in with the exact sizing and bends. From what it looks like pricing is going to be somewhere in the $5k range. Lol a no go for me.

Update time. Time to call my build complete. It is as I envisioned at the start. I have some small things and some upgrades coming. Not a huge amount of changes... I made a full front bottom plate and splitter from 6mm alumalite. There is a duct on the bottom for the intercooler air. I...

Dang, for $5k you could almost buy the tools and materials to make one for yourself and anyone else on the forum who wants one. I'm in the wrong business.
