Today I started out by tack welding in backing panels for the windshield frame, I figure the more metal I can weld into this area the better.


I then clamped the windshield frame in place and took what felt like an hour to make sure it was where I wanted it. I intentionally left a gap between the frame and the cowl so I could get good penetration into the backing plates.

Then I welded and finished the area. After I buy the right sized hole saw I will drill into the back of the frame and weld its inner structure.

Here's how things are looking now.
