I cut out my windshield...

[lockdo6307]

So I cut out my windshield to get more airflow to the motor. What should I use to put in my windshield to screen the airflow?

same here ! just leave it open. you may get some dirt, or debris inside the truck, but getting them dirty is half the fun !

Some people will shoo-goo some window screen on the inside

With that much cut out your lid may not last to long but I would leave it open as well. You can never really have too much air goin by the engine

I use either regular screen from the hardware store or I use drywall mesh depending on the look I want to achieve. Either way though i use shoo goo to hold it in place.

Its cut pretty well. I rounded all my corners its gonna be my bashing body anyways.

Some SS screen from Ace Hardware.
Excuse the badly cut airflow hole, it was like that when I got the lid.

Sorry but cutting the front and side windows will last about 5 minutes as a bashing body. Next time just cut the front window.

Its only the front window sorry for the bad pic I just looked at the pic

Ahh then you should be ok ... maybe some goo and drywall tape around the edges to reinforce it a bit. As for a screen I have never used one and honestly I dont get that much crap on my rig other than just dust and a screen wont stop that anyway.

I agree, bodies just hide all the good stuff underneath. Roll cage all the way!

What is ss screen? I like the looks of that alot! I could probably powder coat it any color to. How do people cut the nice round holes out in the windshield?

i use a dremel tool to cut out mine, i trace a pattern on the lid in washable marker and just use a steady hand and stay with in the pattern !

ss = Stainless Steel

Holesaws make nice round holes

 

[Bkyd Basher]

duh Sorry, havent got alot of sleep lately. And on the hole saws, i meen do u just use like a fine tooth metal hole saw or is there some special reamer for plastic?

 

[Snook Man]

I just use a standard hole saw but run it in reverse and use a wood backer.
When I raced, a screen really helped on freshly watered tracks to help keep the clay out.
We just used standard screen and superglue to attach it to the body.

 

[Bkyd Basher]

Cool, that looks alot better than the open hole. Maybe that shoe goo everyones been talkin about would work good. Wonder if the glue would do anything to the paint on a custom lid? thanks!

It looks like you upchucked an Italian dinner on that lid.
Is that spaghetti or macaroni parmigiana?
