A wind shield will make it look better, IMHO.

Some people are like slinkies... Not much good for anything, but they sure are fun to push down the stairs.

ON - it looks better (is visually balanced).
Plus, because it was designed that way.

You've done a nice job.

I think the windshield [any windshield, original, or chopped, or re-angled] looks better than none. More complete, more finished.

Whats wrong with the original wind screen? If you chop it down it would look cool as heck!]

I will put it on. I am gonna have to machine some brackets and find a gasket and some small channel. I didn't get any hardware with it. Where can I pick up the seal or gasket for between the deck and windshield?

Try JC Whitney, lots of odd ball rubber gaskets. Other options would be Grainger or Mc Master Carr.

Somebody here (Crosbyboat maybe? he's out of town/touch right now.) knows where to get that stuff, give it a day or two for more info. I remember seeing someone post that Wesco or Taco Marine, or somebody has it, I just can't find it in a search for some reason. Seems like it was a company that does rubrail and that type of stuff.
