Thanks for the comments. I agree about needing to make the top more flowing, and the window opening less square. When I sculpt the actual top I will be able to do this. I wanted to get a quick idea and am pretty limited with what I can do with cardboard and duct tape!
The windshield is the same shape as the FF Daytona Coupe. It looks more rounded in person. I have been unable to find a windshield in the XKE shape I like that has similiar proportions. It isn't done yet and I will keep trying. I will drive the car mostly with the top off and the low wrap around windscreen. I drove my last car 33,000 miles in 18 months with out a Top or heater. I guess that I am getting older!
