Today we're moving onto the front windshield design and fabrication. Welding in the square tubing was the first step but the next step is to add 2" flat stock around each window opening so that we can create a window frame for the plexiglas to be glued to ✅

The inspiration for this build is the 1930's Diamond T Texaco Doodlebug Tanker Truck. The Texaco Doodlebug (also called the Diamond T Doodlebug) was a futuristic American tanker truck of the 1930s. The vehicles were streamlined and highly aerodynamic. The overall shape, a flattened half-cylinder rounded at the front and tapered at the end, has been described as a "pill" or "breadloaf". The passenger cabin was blended into the body, and there were no fenders, hood, cowl, or running boards. The windshield was compound curved glass, quite advanced for the time. It stood only 6 feet (1.8 m) tall, very short for a tanker truck then or since.
