Wow Pat, that snake looks really nice! You should make a good job of the D.
It took me two years to build my XKSS, and somewhere in the dark depths of this site there are all the pictures on how I did just about everything. I will see if I can find the thread and post something so it puts it back on the front page if you are interested.
My windscreen on the XKSS is actually the rear screen from a 1950's Morris Minor car. It was the only glass I could find that was narrow enough to fit, and look right on the car.
It took one hell of a lot of welding, double skinning etc to get it all fitted/braced and so on, but it was worth it in the end.
