jim43 Posted December 29, 2011 Share Posted December 29, 2011 I don't know what your windshield frame is like, but Model A roadster brackets are fairly inexpensive for new ones, and you can make rakish cardboard patterns to suit your tastes and take them,(it, you only need one) to your local glass shop and tell them you want some nice glass made, with a little extra care taken in the grinding of the edges. Don't use the thickest glass, use the thinner auto glass for weight reasons. You can buy the brackets with or without glass, perhaps the Model A glass will suit, but there is opportunity to be a bit creative or copy something that appeals to you. I have done this before and once they are in place, a sensitive design will look like it belongs there. Jim43 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
