29 ford roadster question

If you were building a 29 roadster. Would you chop the windshield post? And would you let the post lay out like stock or stand them straight up?

 

Del: I would chop them and lay them back..I love them that way. There again, do it how it suits you best. Have fun with it!!! Tim

 

depends how high you are when sitting on the seat and how much of a chop that you are thinking of. do not want to end up looking over/below top of windshield to see. plus, being hit in the forehead by bugs is no fun.

 

Not a 29, but always a good idea to post photos of this car.

 

look at the bishop/tardel book "how to build a traditional hot rod"

 

Use orchard posts for sure. It's the only way besides a Hallock.

Do it the way you visualise the complete car. When the car is in final mockup,take photos,take long looks at it,sit in it.You will know. If you are not pleased it is probably the easiest and cheapest thing the change.
