[Healeys] Roadster windshield new glass installation - Part 2

[Mark LaPierre]

Nice recap of the glass install Charlie.    2 questions.   Does your Mk2 
have the curved glass like the BJ cars
 or the straighter glass of the MK 1.

Also,  I have a very reputable glass installer around the corner
from me,  if you had it to do over again would you let the pros do the job 
or is this one of those rewarding
jobs that has to be experienced once in a life time.

Thanks again,  Mark
