Thanks for a very interesting reply; apparently mag-alloy blocks will actually burn but probably a tire fire is not hot enough to start it. If you get a chance try to submit a picture of your '29 PU, I am building (slowly) a '29 roadster and so far I have found information on 2" chopped tops for '30 and '31 but not for a '29. Basically I am wondering how the main bow is cut for a 2" chop on a '29. The 2" chopped windshield is available and the stock irons and bow are also available but I have not had a chance to see up close how to trim down the main bow and keep the rest of the irons the same. You may not have a chopped top, but with a running '29 you may have seen a chopped top on a '29 somewhere?
