Now let me get this straight. . . . . You get stopped by this Cop. . . . She wants to make sure everything is OK. . . . and she says to you. . . . You had enough bad luck for one week . . . . She doesn't give you a ticket. . . . . . and then tells you that you need to do something with your exhaust when you get a chance??? Are you kidding me? And all you're worried about is your gull wing doors? Cocacola, listen man we need to take you aside and give you a talkin' to. . . .

After posting this in Classifieds in answer to a question, I thought it might be a good idea to share with the general Board: The inside of the tank on my GT2 was like a shiny beer can. After just two years of running gas with ethanol in it my tank was pocked with rust and my fuel hoses were breaking down. (even though I bought hoses that were supposedly made for ethanol use) I checked out a lot of sources for a "cure" including fab-ing one out of aluminum or poly-plastic plus a bunch of home remedies that promised success. What I finally settled on was an outfit in Penna. called Moyer. It was expensive but I think the best solution here's their website, you can call them and ask all the questions you might have: www.gas-tank.com/Hope this is a help! Mike Horen

There are as JSP says many attempts at solving the problem, have you seen this? www.youtube.com/watch?v=3UxQpTeQBQgif you do a search for GT2 windshield you can go back many years at what we've tried Maybe you might have the courage, energy and determination to go ahead of the following (posts from the past) "OK, Here is the story on Bradley GT 2 Windshields. From 5 years ago. First the Big Bad News “Viracon” sold off ALL their window & windshield Operations. Viracon sold their Glass operation to PPG Industries and Guardian. PPG Industries took all the high end large production and Guardian got the left-overs. This person did give me the number to Guardian and a contact name. Name: Guardian Glass Street: 2040 Production Drive Findlay, Oh 45840-5449 Phone: (419) 420-9736 Kevin McMillin 419-209-6332 I called the Guardian number and acutely talked to the contact person, He found that they had the info on the Bradley GT2 windshields but did not know if they had the tooling. He said he would research to see of they had the tooling and if so have sales call back with more information. I had asked him how the windshields would be shipped. He said they can be bulk shipped or individually shipped, but again it all depends on where they are to be shipped. I asked to make sure, if I supplied them with a list of individuals to be individually shipped, and he said yes, but again cost depends on location to be shipped to. I had received a call back from a gentleman from Guardian and we had a very informative discussion on the production of the GT II windshield. Like most companies today to keep up with the demands for production, they have gone to full robot operations. First, Guardian does have the tooling for the GT II windshield, but the question comes to legal issues “Who owns the right to the tooling” and there for it products. I had check on The Bradley trademark to see if it was open, and maybe we apply for it. But someone at Bradley had just reacquired the trademark license. Bradley trademark Owner (REGISTRANT) Bradley Automotive, Inc. CORPORATION MINNESOTA 6315 Timber Trail Edina MINNESOTA 55439 Someone can try to contact the Bradley Automotive, Inc, and see of they would set up a windshield production or release the tooling so we can produce the windshield needed. As for a TradeMark, we can have a off the wall new car name entered and a tooling made for the same windshield, problem is more cost. Maybe the only answer. Second, Guardian usually does a production of 200 to 500 or more of a product. Anything less would require a setup charge of $4000. This goes to programming the robots for the job, a test run and evaluation of the products. After the setup charge of $4000 is paid any number of windshield can be produced. More windshield made the price would be a little lower. We would need to order 200 windshield at a cost of $50,000. I have seen many GT II on Ebay and Craigslist listed with no windshield or a cracked windshields. To get 200 windshield will take some heavy investment on someones part or a complete investment of a well formed Car Club. For the ones of us that have good windshield once they are broken or damage our cars are done for. The next time you see a GT II up for sale for $2000 or more you better buy it for the windshield, if it has one. So the question is what can we do as the Bradley Car club, does anyone have the $50,000 to start the first production for the Bradley GT II windshield or off the wall name? (Setup and products) ($50,000 is my arbitrary number for cost, it may probably be much higher.) How do we organize all the Bradley GT II owners US wide who need windshields ? Wyn " "I spoke to Steve Lerner from the road today as I had plenty of time on my hands. I got the same info as above except that he gave me a few ball parks. Set up and molds would run: around a $1000.00 for the mold and about $500 + $300. set-up and run charges. Based on the dimensions of a curved windshield about the size of a Corvette (close -enough) he said it would run between $500.00 to $1000.00. Hatboro Pa is close to where I was born and raised (Philly) and I plan to be down there in the middle of June. I could take one of my spare windshields down to them and let them work with it to come up with a tighter quote and also a pattern. Unless someone has the capabilities to run a digital cad to send them. Where we go from here is up to the general public to feed back. But much thanks to Wyn and his internet search we're finally on to something!! I'd like to see if we could get 25 people to come up with $50. to take it to the mold stage and then we'd be somewhere. We have about a month to organize this. I like Skip's idea of an escrow fund. Possibly set it up in a way that it's legal and makes the majority feel secure about the project. I'm not really a good den mother so let's hear from interested parties."

I suggest you send a PM to bobevans,
not sure how often he taps into the board anymore.
FYI, I posted the quote from him since I knew he had the rear windows.

Also from bobevans this may be of interest to you: A friend of mine has a GT2 top and doors for sale in New Mexico...I don't know how to post pics, but can email them if you are interested..He is building a roadster from a Brad that I sold him..No glass, just the top sell to the highest bidder...Also I have several GT2 rear hatch windows that I will sell for $10 each if you buy them all...there are at least 50 or so of them...Cannot ship, as they weigh 38 pounds each... Good to be back on the board..and very involved in building a Mini T dune buggy right now...Hope to get another Brad soon... bobevans ..Alamogordo, New Mexico

FYI the rear glass is not flat - it's got a slight curve to it. Contact board member Bob Evans, he's got a load of them. I have a storage shed full of them....only problem is that they weigh 38 pounds a piece and are glass...Will sell for $50...but depending on where you are..packaging and shipping will eat your lunch...Now if you are coming through New Mexico that will be a different story... By the way if someone wants to take these off my hands, I will sell the whole lot for $10.00 each..I think there are 90 of them...They are new old stock from Viracon...and no I don't have any windshields...I sold all I had last year and it looks like I might have sold them too cheap....Sorry... Bobevans

I'd vote for the blue, it was easier on the eyes. The cursor problem doesn't bother me but I think the mast head needs some help. I like the log-in screen colors and graphic, maybe feature 1 car view pix per week in the panel there are a lot of interesting rides on this board.

Hi Kyle, Your efforts are much appreciated, that said & with all due respect, I liked the blue borders and background better - - easier on the eyes! Also the Bradley GT Car Club Border at the top seems to have grainy grey smears in the background. Again -- all due respect for your foundation & Organizing!
best wishes, Mike Horen
