again this is a plug, once the mold is finished, this plug will be destroyed

btw, just got word that Arnaldo is moving more into the lighter composite materials for strength and weight savings

in the previous builds, the receivers were glassed-in each time, then the dash was glassed-in an order for a windshield was made


this time, its all part of 1 pull from the mold

no difference, except the build is faster

the previous way may have added a couple of pounds due to the body work, but nothing too substantial

the dash, [which is not visible] is also bigger now to accommodate the larger screens
