Chopped and Leaned: The Roadster Windshield Thread

Heres mine. Still allows the use for a cowl vent. Story goes that it was cast by Crane Gartz in the pre war days, however I am still looking for any historic photo evidence.

 

This threads worth revisiting!

 

There's my little roadster as built by Don Kendall...and here it is today:

 

32 ford 3" chop

 

1938 Inglewood. Dads first house and 29.

 

Took a pair of standard stanchions and milled a groove in them, cut them down, and fitted a flat piece of safety glass. Like the chopped look which is a little different than usually seen.

 

I hadn't seen this thread before, quite a few really great cars.

 

My roadster- not leaned a whole lot, chopped 4"

 

^^^ NICE.....really like the fenders!

 

They were formed with round rod...

 

What tha..........?

 

Up

 

leaned some, chopped two inches. The car is blown apart right now for paint. Does anyone know how to stimulate a painter?

 

This car speaks to me. It's 100% responsible for me wanting to sell my coupe body and buy a 28/29 roadster body. @J.B. is this yours?

 

De-uglification of a sport coupe.
Adapting a roadster type windshield to a 29 coupe/sedan/sport coupe cowl that has had the bolt upright windshield posts cut off.
Milled a pair of orchard post adaptors that slide in to the cowl and are held in place by 3/8'' studs/nuts.
