Of course this is an opinion (mine)
I've seen the visors on Model A's with 1 to 2 inch holes in them and really don't care much for them. Is your car is a going to be 'rat'(I don't think so), then that might be different. Do you have that visor off now? If so, make up a similar cardboard version and see what it looks like. That's one Model A part that repro replacements have not been well made though I have seen homemade versions that are barely OK (now if you had a slant windshield '31 Fordor, it wouldn't have a visor)
Na it welded on, the make a tool to do it on the car, all you needs is a pilot hole. Just seeing what everbodys opinions are. Car will not be a rat :DQuote:

Well I cant go by ERA, I got to much meat in the back :LOL: Me too reminds me of the drag look, flared or not flared look? A buddy of mine say's they didnt flare them in the good old days.Quote:

My understanding is that they started drilling them to relieve air pressure as the cars went faster than Henry designed them to go.
Don
I personally don't care for that look. For some reason it just draws my eye to it every time I see one, It takes away from the chop in the roof. Just my 2 cents, if you like it go for it. :)

I like them drilled and flared too, can't see what it has to do with a ratrod, they were doing it a long time before they came along.
I did this one on an A coupe a couple of months ago.

Makes it easier to see stop lights.:)
Is it in the theme of the build or not. You can do a mock up on drawing paper and attach it to the visor to see how you like it.

Unfortunately, being too tall isn't Bob's problem with seeing traffic signals. :eek::DQuote:

I have a different solution for that Ken......:)Quote:
