Smile Windshield visor

Happy Thanksgiving!

I'm restoring the visor for my '25 Coupe and all I have is the metal frame. Is there a filler that goes between the layers of covering before you close it up?
Thanks...

Smile Steering wobble @ low speed after right turn

On occasion, I experience a front end shimmy or wobble after a right turn only at low speed. Close the throttle and the car recovers.

Any ideas where the problem cause lies?
