Thanks Mick for the most informative post I've read on this subject to date... your pickup looks great, and I agree the angle is just right. Thanks again. -Joe

I just received my 2" chopped Model A windshield kit and it should be less of a problem, right? The stanchions can really only go on one way, mostly vertical, right? I see the problem with the '32 since it has those gorgeous curved mounts for the stanchions which can be mounted at several different angles as the mounts slide around but the Model A is more definite, right? Sorry for butting in, but I am just checking that there is not the same problem for the '28-'29 A. Ignore this unless there is some special trick for the A which I should know. That red Deuce pickup is really nice and I especially like the way the top slants slightly forward at the rear.

Shoot Don, you ain't buttin' in!
I was surprised to see this post again as the first one went out last March. I still have not mounted my windshield but I test fit it once and have formulated my plan.
1) Best I can tell is you just need to be patient and use a couple helpers to hold it while you look at it, adjust it, look at, and mark where she goes, and drink a beer and look at it some more.
2) Sleep on it.
3) Then drink a beer, and get you helpers to hold it again on the marks while you drink a beer and look it over.
4) Mark and drill the holes. Drink a beer maybe, sleep on it.

I saw last night on fb about John. The world sure lost a great one. I'm going to miss his humor, advice, and perspective from another portion of the world. Rest in Peace Johnboy.
