    I have a 1930 Ford Roadster with a 2" chopped windshield . The windshield posts are straight up , I would like to slant them back a few degrees . Does anyone sell slanted windshield posts or has anyone done this and can you provide any help or suggestions . Thanks

    Folding windshield or not? On a folding one it's easy, you just grind away some of the stop (or the post) so it leans back further. On a non-folding it will need to be cut and sectioned.

    I thought about that [grinding the stops] but I would still like to have some sort of stops , so the windshield dosent end up in my face.

    Just like xlr8 said, you grind away some of the stop on the upper stantion to achieve the desired angle or you can notch into your lower stantion and let the upper stantion stop rest in the notch for your desired angle

    If the lower stantion is ground, it can become too thin! Better to trim the upper's stop.
