I can't tell you the last time I've watched a YouTube video that was longer than 2 minutes that wasn't one of your videos. Keep up the interesting work, I really enjoy watching how you solve issues.
I also love the mentality of "you can't get these windshields anymore... So I'll just reshape all this to accept a flat windshield" like that's a normal, simple thing to do.

Thanks, glad you are enjoying the videos! Someone suggested that since the top was already damaged, why not chop the top. I found this tilt out glass intended for the rear of a vw bus. It uses laminated glass, so good for a windshield, and will work with a 2" or so chop

A beat up rear hatch should not be too hard to come by, so I am thinking...cut out the lip for the glass and weld into the truck. I already measured and the width is near perfect!
Got the tilt cab set up on the V8 Daihatsu Hijet

Repurposed VW hood latch is in place. Lots of metal work still needed.

Yeah, I couldn't get a video embedded the other day either. Any Mods out there know how to fix this?

Still a little photo manipulation here, but it is close to looking like this.

Cadillac hat with a spectre 4" aluminum 90 and a k&n filter. Fits great but not sure it will flow enough air. Has anyone else used one of these smallish filters? I read some reviews on it and people are using them on ls motors...any thoughts?

I can’t imagine you’d notice any potential HP loss with that little of weight?
