Hallock windshield welding

Finished up welding 29paul's Sellers windshield castings. Heres some pics











used a piece of stainless as a straight edge to start forming/grinding front peak.





used a blue sharpie to highlight low areas. Dressed peak with course file till flat and to width I wanted.





Then "blued" the area one final time and with straight edge and scribe put
a centerline mark to reference during grindind and sanding. Stayed 1/16
away from scribe line to get it close. Sorry no pic

Luckily I had built up the peak area enuff so that I didnt have to go back and add for any low spots. After much time of hand work heres the finished piece.







If I have created any questions, please let me know and I'll try to answer the best I can. Thanks for looking. Dave Havlir House of Fab

 

Looks real nice.

 

Looks great. Do they come in 2 pieces for a reason, easier to cast I guess? Are they made to be ****ed together, and you welded for appearance, or are they supposed to be welded? I like it this way, just wondering why it was necessary.

TIG aluminum is my welding Waterloo, especially cast, looks like you've got it down.

 

That looks amazing! Fabulous work. Looks killer!

 

Very, VERY nice............................

 

Looks great! With a new casting and TIG welding you should get a good color match, thanks for posting the photos.

 

Very nice work, man. Thanks a ton for posting this!

Great job where did you get the casting & do they have them for 36 Fords eather a Hallock or the Duval style Danny.

 

Dang it! Those windshield are Awesome. Can you make one for my '48? Sure it'll look a little weird, but they're so cool.

 

Correct -- the ones that he had cast are made to fit a '28-'29 Roadster cowl.

 

Really nice work,hope mine comes out as good!

 

Thanks Dave for doing a great job.Very nice work.

 

Great pix! You answered a lot of questions! This is on my agenda for my "Bruce Deonelan Clone" Thanks!
