With a great deal of help from Mild Mitch, I managed to gather
together the parts to get a windscreen on the car. I bought the lower stantions
from Mitch, and he helped me get the posts home after I bought them on
e-bay. I bought the windshield frame from local rodder Roger Hamilton.
Here's the pieces mocked together, to see how it all looks. Posts
are deluxe, screen frame is standard, 1.75" taller.
The top part of the frame detatches, and is fitted slightly lower
than stock here, about the stock height of a deluxe frame.
Decided the stock height frame wasn't hot-roddy enuff, so positioned
the top bar a bit lower to check out the look. I liked it..
Decided I liked it even more after canting the posts back a bit
too.
The posts were shortened 2", with the top part angled forward slightly
to account for the increased rake. The screen frame was shortened 3.75".
Now that looks goood. Still dont have the old fashioned wing nuts,
(or glass for that matter).
Mart.
