I'm working on Foyt's 61 winner and need some advice. Does anyone have a tip on securing the windscreen? I'm having a heck of a time with it. Thanks for any help offered.

My method involves five minute epoxy. Apply some to the inside of the body and wait for about 3 1/2 or 4 minutes. when the glue is about half firm, stick the windshield in. There's a lot less having it move around that way. Not sure if that will help. but it's all I got right now.

Blu-Tac, painter's tape and Testors Clear Parts Cement or Watch Crystal Cement and TONS of patience. Never an easy or fun time. Most of the time, I glue one end and when that is set, just work my way to the other end in stages.

That's what I do, approximately. |

Fastcap speed tape. 1/16th" width. Clear double-sided sticky tape. Can pull it off and re-position. Aircraft modelers use it for canopies. I bought a roll and it will last the rest of my natural days.  Fastcap Speedtape link |
