    Poliform, in Gilroy, CA, has a Duvall-type frame for the 26-27.

    Check out Bobbleeds P/U..., the stantions were made from old coupe windshield frame cut into small pieces and he welded decorative sheet metal and a base that can be bolted to the cowl.

    The grooves in the frame have window gasket to buffer the glass and it seems pretty solid.

    Your car is Glass so I'd recommend making and forming a metal plate that acts like a large washer for the inside of the cowl that anchors the stantions.

    Hope this helps

    Hey JT just get the dam thing done. Just kiddin looks great
     
  19. JT...Why do you need a windshield? You can't see over the steering whell any way.

    How about using a bicycle fork for the windshield posts and the windshield frame I gave you? Bicycle forks have a nice taper.

    Somebody is reproducing the sports car wind screens from the 50's. Individual glass and posts for the driver and the passenger. The different look is actually cool.
