Hot Rods Just Another Roadster For Show And Go

According to the other thread I created just about the stanchions. It appears 32 and 30/31 deluxe upper stanchions are the same height. Therefore, my repro 2" chopped 32 upper stanchions I just ordered should correspond with a 2" chopped repro deluxe windshield frame. The ONLY reason I am going this route is I want chrome and to buy an already chopped and chromed frame is 450 bucks (roughly) here in 2024. For me to chop a stock one and have it chromed would cost a lot more than that and I want the windshield to look flawless.... its just one of those focal points and sadly is gonna cost me! At least the upper stanchions were only 99 bucks to my door! A 2" chop like yours looks spot on to me!

 

I hope this works out.!.! But, just incase, and if you can, verify with putting your eyes on something that uses the same.I was all over the place trying to verify the same, and just leaned mine back a bit, like 45* (stockers)........ I could never get a definitive answer, nor saw actual parts as such.........Everyone say's, but does everyone do?

 

Fair enough....might just need to wait for the stanchions, put em on and 'GULP' measure haha

 

Believe it or not (and I know its hard to...) I paid 190 bucks for this shipped to my door.
I was struggling with paying 500-1200 dollars for a firewall. So far this project has next to nothing invested. The roadster I am currently finishing I only have about 2k in so far. It would be really neat to see how inexpensive I can keep this model a roadster while still building a show car and not cutting any corners for quality! I will tell you this; I am thoroughly excited for the challenge of recreating the rest of this firewall from scratch! Finally have my 32 firewall for the roadster....sorta...kinda....almost...soon

 

Did the 32 chopped stanchions work out? Where did you buy them?

 

They look great, got em on ebay for 99 shipped. Requires a 2" chopped deluxe frame
