I was in Lowes and saw some 1/8" steel stock perfect for a scatter 
shield 3" wide so here is how I spent my weekend:

Think it will do the job or is there something I need to consider adding 
or changing. I plan to run my dad's lightened flywheel which visually 
has seen a lathe back in the '60s. I had it magnifluxed and it is fine 
but I still feel the need for a shield - I like being ambulatory...

The idea is to keep the car the way he raced it - drive it to the track, 
pull the windshield and passenger seat - add a plexiglas deflection 
shield and go have fun. So, I wanted it to hide under the carpet.

Thanks,

M
