Thread: My first rod!

Tweet

Thanks for the tip on the lights... Does Bob Drake have them with the second element installed for parking/turn signals? Also, the more I look at the way this windshield is glued in, the more it looks like a near impossibility of getting it off without some moderate paint damage to the top of the cowl... honest opinion... does it look OK with the current windshield setup? I'm thinking i may just change to the big 32 lights and headlight bar, and "live" with the windshield as it is... maybe add a small oval inside mirror.

I think that it looks fantastic just as she sits.

But then thats just my opinion.

I had to install the turn signals into the new reflector ... he does not do that ... cutting and drilling them is not a problem ... they are some type of poly/plastic or something. I mounted the bulb holder behind the reflector ... sort of lowered or spaced away from the reflector so that my yellow bulb just barely sticks thru the reflector ... a little over half way. WORKS great ...

The windshield is NOT the way I would build one ...
But ... it was a lot less expensive than buying a chrome windshield frame, stantions and all the related 32 pieces so ... I guess that's what the builder did ...

I would have to change it ... before the new rod season ... you asked and I just told you the truth ...
