When they went to install a new windshield the bare glass, without the gasket, overlapped the windshield pillars. The body shop was adamant that they wouldn't have broken the original windshield if it had not been single ply. It was only the outer layer of a laminated windshield, cut and polished to fit the opening.
I filed that info away, and I will swear that I never used that one again. Who would dare not run safety glass in a race car.
I do not know where the modifications to that car were done, or who did it. He brought that SS Dart, and one other, with him when he moved back East from California.
