    Very cool. The pic on the table looks like the plexiglass is "contoured" or "bubbled"...is it, or is it flat?

    Again, very cool.

    I think you need to start making these and selling them. And when you do, let me know, because I want one.

    It will get a coating of goo on the inside and get hard to see through and need regular cleaning. A total PITA.







    And totally worth it.

    Food for thought:

    Chemical
    One weakness of plexiglass is the ability for certain chemicals to damage it. These chemicals include gasoline, certain solvents, organic acids and lacquer thinners. Plexiglass is not affected by gasoline quickly, but after seven days of exposure the plexiglass shows some effect. Solvents such as methylene chloride, benzene and turpentine cause immediate damage. Organic acids such as acetic acid at 50 percent concentration also cause immediate effects. Lacquer thinners also have immediate effects on the plexiglass.

    Combustion
    Since plexiglass is a plastic and is composed of natural oil, it is combustible. Spontaneous combustion can occur between 850 and 869 degrees F and plexiglass will ignite with a flame between 550 and 570 degrees. While ignition will not happen at low temperatures, plexiglass burns vigorously and rapidly. Burning plexiglass does not produce toxic gases.

    Heat
    Plexiglass can withstand a wide range of temperature differences, but it does respond to prolonged exposure to heat. Sustained temperatures over 180 to 200 degrees F will cause the plexiglass to soften and lose its shape.

    Now you just have to cut a hole in the engine lid and complete the effect.
