Cowl Vent and hinged windshield kits for 32 Ford?

Does anybody sell a kit for the complete cowl vent assembly and hinged windshield assembly for a 32 Ford?

I've been scouring e-bay and the most common street rod vendors with no luck.

Surely somebody offers conversion kits or OEM type replacements.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

 

Brookville has the complete cowl vent assembly. For what body style do you need the windshield frame?

 

32 3 Window Coupe. I just found a windshield assembly at Drake, $375 in plain steel and it needs chopped.

It would be nice if somebody offered the assembly chopped, but that may be asking too much.

 

It is very difficult to sell a prechopped windshield for any closed car application due to the degree and style of the chop the previous builder has performed. A 2" chop on one car might be considered a 2 3/4" chop on another with swept windshield posts. The quality of work also varies as a 2" chop on one side pillar might be a 2 1/4" chop on the opposite side pillar so a commercially made chopped windshield cannot be guaranteed to fit. The best results for a chopped windshield is to do it your self by purchasing an unchromed frame.

 

I can now see the cost on both of these items will be extremely prohibitive.

 

Maybe not.

Brookville was asking $995 for the steel cowl. They're very proud of their stuff.

Now if I can find an alternative to the hinged windshield I'll be in buisness.

I'll have to find a top notch welder to weld and polish it after its chopped, and off to chrome. A very expensive detail, but worth it I think.

 

As a general rule ... 32 Ford 3W coupes are not a real inexpensive type of car to build.

Is yours a fiberglass coupe ??
If so ... the eBay stuff may work out but if your coupe is steel ... the results may leave a LOT to be desired.

 

We're talking glass cars. I know everybody likes to poo-poo them, but if you cant afford 60K for a Henry car, its nice to add the stock features without breaking the bank.

 

try new age motersports complete cowl vent and step by step you wont be sorry

 

Ask the builder of you body where he get windshilld frames.
I think i paid about $400 for mine with glass

 

speedway's got the cowl vent stuff. I've got an original vent assy $35 shipped.

pm if you interested.

 

Looks just like a Henry Cowl assy to me.
