That looks real nice, MadMike, and it will certainly do the trick.
Tighten it up til it strips, then back it off a quarter turn

Do you care to post a few pictures?

Was cleaning out my pictures files onto a cd-r and found I had 3 shots already, saves me some work.  When I bought it there was a tag saying it was for a jaguar. I bought all new countersunk allen head 6---32 screws for it . Size is 24 3/4" long by 6 7/8 wide.

shazzbott is going to get an aluminum carter wind shield from Australia.

A carter is a similar design to a Duvall, but totally engineered and manufactured by tony Carter in Australia.    Its made in aluminum instead of silicon bronze and its made specifically for 1934-1935 Chevrolet standard series roadsters and tourings.

Here is a few pictures of the unit ready to ship to me.

Mike that sure is a radical windshield where do the wipers go  vette59jdwl

Rainx plus wipers  does not equal roadster  ;) HEHE

madmike3434

electric boat motor wipers go on standard top location, ron francis wire works actually makes a special adaptor bracket for it.


Yes, Rain -X is best product to use if not using a wiper.

I have an original molds silicon bronze Duvall windshield I will be selling in January.  Have to figure out if its a 32 ford or a 33--34, or a 35-36 ford roadster by the width.  The chevy apparently is 4 " wider than a 32 ford.

I like that, madmike. How do you finish it, polish?

The Carter windshield is made in aluminum.  It can be polished, it can be powder coated , or it can be painted with an etching primer that is compatible with aluminum.  Or it can be chrome plated using copper, nickel , chrome.

The paint on car will be black high gloss polished nitrocellulose lacquer.  For the windshield I would powder coat it in a satin black for a different look.  The 35 chev tub that won the grand national roadster show in 2014 had a bunch of parts and firewall, luggage rack in that satin black and I thought , damn , I like that. So will do it.  Thats the plan anyway

see if I can find a picture of it,,,,,,,,2 more pictures one showing satin flat black firewall and satin black luggage rack against the black lacquer paint on body.   The rack has since been painted a red shade to match red on body......UGLY

I like the satin black, perfect choice, I think!

Yes wes rydells car is a phaeton , not a pheaton , and under the GNRS ( grand national roadster show ) rules it qualifies , by being an open car,  made prior to 1937.   There was a whole pile of chatter online about its status, and street rodder mag got into it with all the talk.
