Woo hoo! That did the trick; thanks, guys.
I merged the 2 models togeather, gave the mdoel a second skin and grouped and UV mapped the windshield triangles to the second skin. then appleid a 30% transparent green image for that second skin ( original skin of the model was untouched)Man, I didn't even know you could do that. Chalk that up under "great secrets of 3DGS uncovered."
