Thanks for the quick reply! Any other advice you'd give specific to the A/T that differs from the build videos?I got the XXR 530 "Intense" Wheels - 16x8.25 - 4x100/4x114.3 Bolt (53068462) from MAPerformance.com. The tires are Toyo Open Country A/T III.
Who did your windshield and frame?Just finished installing the parking brakes, finished up a laminated safety glass windshield earlier this year. With the parking brakes on, it should now pass a Michigan inspection (TR-54 Form), and I should hopefully be able to get it plated and street legal in the near future.
Did you source a specific windshield from another car make/model or is the glass a custom cut piece?I built the frame, it's made of 11 gauge mild steel, with a second piece of the same and bolts between the two. Weather strip foam on both sides, and then the glass is sandwiched in between them. I cut it all out of cardboard to get the fit and shape right, then plasma cut it out of a big sheet of steel. Made another cardboard form that I took into a local glass shop and had them cut out a piece to match that.
uh, I used what DF sent me? Not trying to be a jerk, but I don't really get what you are asking here.What did you do for your rear suspension?
It is a custom piece of flat glass, it was about 200$ at a local glass shop to get made. I wrestled for a while with trying to find something that would fit like a corvette windshield or the like, but finding dimensions online was troublesome, and in the end I was not up for making a curved frame anyway.Did you source a specific windshield from another car make/model or is the glass a custom cut piece?
Thank you! The fit is a little off on the bottom corners, but for what it is it will work. It is a little annoying that you have to take the windshield off to open the hood, but there isn't much under there anyway.That windshield looks bullet proof!

No problem, the question just shows my ignorance. It was my understanding that the cobalts stock front suspension were to be reused, and yours didn't look stock. I did not realize DF provided something else. Thanks for clarifying!uh, I used what DF sent me? Not trying to be a jerk, but I don't really get what you are asking here.
