Tinted 1/4" Thick Lexan Windshield is on 4 new pictures on 2/6/26. Did not have time to lay out the side cut on it, but it is easy to remove and do the cut soon. NEW Lowered Price of $5,000.00 Firm Super Cheap for the Quality of the build. Okanogan, WA. Restored my Sand Rail. Now finished and runs great. It is up for sale I have over $7,000.00 into it but only asking $5,000.00 Dropped the price due to winter coming on. This one was fun to do had a blast at a parade in Okanogan, Washington State. Never been Off Road since I finished it. Just drove it around on the road in front of our place and in the Parade. Even comes with a Full Metric NICE Rolled Up Tool Kit in the Storage Box if I get my asking price. jd4044m@gmail.com Mark
