    Has anybody out there built from scratch a roadster windshield frame that replicates the 30-31 Model A pretty closely? Did a search but to no avail....too many common words in there :rolleyes: If so I would appreciate the info. Thanks...

    I'm not sure if it's what your looking for, I ordered a aluminum window frame kit from snyders for a swing out window, chopped it down, built window pillars to match , polished it and had gl*** installed. I can post pics if this is along the lines you need. It was for a 31 model a

    I've never built one from scratch for a 31, but was surprised to find how thin the material is that they're made from when chopping mine. We did build one for Turkeyjerk's T roadster out of some s**** tubing. It works well and looks great but has no provision for the seal that goes around the outer edge on a later A model.
