    Custom fabricated windshield posts ONLY. I don't want to see your 1- 800 credit card windshield posts. Hot rod I built for my BFF. Note. 2" has been added to the top of the body and suicide 4" longer doors. Hence body 2014-02-28 20.04.12-1.jpg 2014-02-28 20.04.14-1.jpg has been " denoitces " PS; Raised ledge that windshield sets on has been cut off.

    That looks good Den. The 28/9 is tough to get a nice flow, but you got it. Made out of steel? How do they attach? Groove for the glass?

    And my AMBR possible contender? 2003-12-31 23.00.00-16.jpg 2003-12-31 23.00.00-21.jpg I started with a 3/8 " square bar stock. Flame cut the rest. The posts drop into the 29 coach reveal which is 1" square tubing. Notice the belly pan extending all the way back to the rear axle.

    Those windshield posts (and the cars they’re on) are beautiful! Thanks for sharing pictures. And thanks for thinking outside the box. I’ll try to get some good pictures of my windshields.

    Mine are castings. I made patterns out of pine. The first one was cast 25 years ago and on my roadster for many years. BBDF2B57-4319-439C-82A2-3575FE589347.jpeg

    On the second casting I adjusted the shapes in the pattern and cast it in aluminum. 9EF6E589-2D5A-4910-B46A-62CEEC7C0621.jpeg

    Willys could not have produced very many cabriolets. How many are left? What kind of V-12 engine?

    These are Dan Fink W/S posts. I don't consider them as " Buy them and Bolt them" They are sold as a bolt on kit using their W/S frame. I purchased the posts only. I made a fixture to mill the 3/8" slot. I had to custom fit them to the cowl because I moved the posts rearward and leaned them img114.jpg back more than stock.
