Opinions requested

Hello all, have not posted in years, got the boot from the Army after 27 years, something about "high tenure". Oh well, their loss. More time in the shop now that I am back home for good. Need your opinions (this should be good) on my front window on my 39. The center is a cardboard mock up. The look I was after was industrial, airplaine or old big truck. I fear it may look like a dogs head, just add ears. If thats the case I will s**** the idea. What do you think?

 

Try narrowing it up a fraction.

 

I like it just as it is-Do it!!! Thanks, Lyman.

 

I have to admit, I like it.

 

looks great...

 

i like it as well ..

 

It looks good, try making the windshield a little smaller. That would give it an industrial look.

 

Reminds me of a train or old WWII bomber. I like it!!!

 

looks cool nice project!!

 

I must agree, I like it ,too. An exposed rivet kind of attachment for the windshield might be nice....with restraint.

I was thinking about rivets around the windows also, but not too sure...

 

Looks great. '40 converts and woodies had two separate windshield pieces (rather than a big opening with a chrome divider bar), and you've captured that look very nicely. I've never seen it done on a truck, and I think it's a GREAT idea. DO IT!

P.S. the mockup is really well done. Painting the cardboard takes all the work out of imagining it done!

 

Wow I really like it. Deffiently thought of an airplain before I even read the post. I like the rivit idea to. Keep the killer Ideas coming.

 

I like the look, but am with Unkl Ian mostly for good visability.

 

Thanks for all the encouragement. Will continue on...

 

I have never seen that before but it looks very cool!

 

Very provocative! Different! Semi-wild and maybe even cool. I say go for it

You can add me to the "I like it" side.

 

Damn, wish i had thought of that, it looks great.

 

That's what I was thinking, about half of the width.

 

I like it.......and thanks for those 27 years of service.......I appreciate it !!

 

Says "C-47, B-17" to me. Sprinkle on some rivets, POW!

 

I'm liking what i'm seeing. Roadstar here on the HAMB built a '40 coupe a few years back with a convertible windshield frame that was killer. Gave almost the look your going for here. I say continue on.

Looks Super!!!!GO FOR IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!even the rivets

 

I like just the way it is. PLEASE, tell me you're going to paint it silver!

 

Looks great go for it ....and thats the best place Ive seen for those plastic gauges too !

 

Bet you never expected such a positive response when asking for opinions here.

Anyway my vote would also be go for it and Im also with Oilcan Harry paint it Silver

 

Not one negative. You can't beat that.
