Not just another window installation. This one has a twist. Take a J-50 Twin Bonanza and add all new glass by Beryl D’Shannon. Problem: The speed-slope windshield conversion in a T-bone uses a fiberglass lower fairing. Well, we have a polished airplane.

The fun begins by taking a fairing strip for the Bonanza, cut it in half; then by meticulously stretching, shrinking, and adding in fabricated pieces, an aluminum fairing strip is fabricated.

A total of five pieces were made for the fairing strip; these were bonded and riveted together, dressed, then initial polished.
