    Here's the visor we did on my 29 tudor. It's shorter than the original and fits the car better imo.

    Looks fine.
    I always liked the look of this HAMB members visor and I guess it is similar to what you are doing, except that visor looks to be a 30 style on a 29.

    yeah, they did drop the ball on a lot of it. but they did a great job where the belt line transitions, splits, and wraps up the quarter window. that and the visor; not a fan of the rest of the car.

    The visor looks great, good job! I like the brace. Do you have pics of the whole T so we can see what it looks like?

    here's how a previous owner treated the visor on my 29 coupe.....i like it, looks a little different, i'm gonna redo the work as its kinda crude, but i'll keep the visor in that position.[​IMG]

    best of Rod and custom of the 50's book has a red A on the cover with a cutout in the visor and a piece of clear red plastic in it, looks kinda slick and makes it so you can still see

    That's funny because the visor is the only thing that I have a problem with on a CHevy body. Still trying to figure out what to do with it.

    I ran with the stock visor and eyebrow but this time around I modified the original 28/29 visor by moving it up about 1 1/2” and mounting it above the header wood.

    Not a model A, but model T visors are almost worse to deal with and a lot end up with model A visors attached in place of the stock item.
    I decided to see what I could do and stick with the model T design.
    This is what I ended up with.
