What type of windshield (if any) did you have on the car prior to installing this one? Looks like my best bet may be to just drive it with the one i have for the summer, and take it to a paint shop to have the stock one installed and any hole filling/cutom fitting/repainting done as required... i was hoping it would be an easy swap with no paintwork or hassles involved, but I'm starting to loose hope that will be the case. Here's a couple better pics of where mine is mounted, both sides... hard to tell for sure if the old holes would be covered by the stock stanchions or not... whaddaya think?
Hi Joey
The bolt on stanchions will probably cover the area if you remove the billet posts but, it looks to me as if the there is a build up of filler on the cowl to accomadate your windshield. The cowl area should be flatter with a small ridge for the weatherstrip. Major modification is going to be required. Why don't you collect the parts you need first and then plan when you are going to change it.
I used parts from CWMoss and the frame was a 'Mr Roadster', that came unchromed unchopped and unglazed, so you have yourself quite a project already. I suggest you do this stuff first.

Thanks guys for the comments about my car. I always knew exactly how my roadster was going to look, the leaned back windshield, the 3" chop was all part of the plan.
Cx9...i found pictures of your roadster on the net while i was building mine. Your roadster gave me a lot of inspiration.
