Thread: Removing my windshield

Tweet

I can get better pics tomorrow... but if you're familiar with 32 ford cowls, there is a "ridge" or bump that this glass sits just behind, so there's not a "straight shot" under the glass to get a wire ir something under it to cut it out without digging the wire against the paint on the ridge. The windshield i wanted to change to has a chrome frame, and a rubber flap on the bottom, so "some" of the hackjob might be covered by the new frame, but since its a roadster and both sides of the windshield are easily seen, i think any paint flaws would likely be visible... which sorta negates changing the windshield, as i want it to look better, not worse. The windshield on the car now is done very nicely, its just a more "modern" type setup that doesn't look as good as an original style windshield on an otherwise nostalgic themed car. I'm seriously thinking of leaving it alone, at least for the time being. I've had the car 24 hours, and am worried my first "small project" could turn into a winters worth of fixing the aftermath... or worse yet, paying a paint shop to fix it. I'm still torn as to what to do.
