I thought I'd throw this in here. My Son Dan has never been happy with the windshield on his '29 sedan turned roadster pickup. At first it was straight up and down, but chopped. Then, in an effort to streamline it a little, he laid it back and tapered it a little.
A week or so ago while I was working on my T, he was at the shop taking measurements, and pondering the situation and I knew more cutting was going to happen. What he did was whack the whole windshield off , buy some '29 roadster stanctions, chop them 5 inches, and use a '32 frame that is also chopped 2 inches.
He still has some finish welding to do, but the major part of the swap is done, and now that I see it, I have to agree that it looks cleaner this way. The first picture is when it was straight, the second is after leaning it back, and the others are after the new windshield is on.
I've got to hide the sawzall, or he will never get this thing done.

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.
