Roadster Drivers - What do you use for eye protection

I plan to wear these when I get my roadster done someday. They are AN-6530 WWII aviator goggles. Originals have glass lenses but these repros have polycarbonate plastic.

 

I recommend the HGU-33 Dual lense with O-2 Mask and Headset...!

Navy paint schemes are the Best!!!! Check'em out!!!

Josh-

I'm running the repop AN 6530's too... They are really cool goggles, and I always wanted a pair. My wife finally kicked down last Christmas.
Very comfortable, and they look the part!

A lot of guys cut out the base where your butt sits and staple webbing on underneath.-C9

Jay I'm 5'8". I spent lots of time making the riser and cutting the foam just right. And I drove the car for a week before the vinyl went on.

At first I just had the foam on the plywood (about 3" where my butt sat). But after a 6 hour ride my tail bone got real sore. SO I went back and cut the botom out and did the webbing trick and it was the cure.

My Riser is a 2x4 layed on it side 1 3/4 approx. 3/4 inch plywood seat base.

Sid Chavers has a exellent video showing how to make a built in seat. That is basicly what I went by.

I do know if I had used the stock metal riser and a stock 32 seat cusion I would probably be looking over the DuVaul windshield.

 

Friend of mine who drives a flathead powered 32 roadster wears those small swiming goggles, especially in the rain. There's also a wide range of ski goggles too

 

I used Kroop's goggles for years. Available at anyplace that handles skydiving gear (sometimes sold under the description "boogie goggles"), in various tints. Used to buy them in fairly large quantity to get a cheaper unit price. Used to be $5 to $7 a pair, although I haven't bought any in a while. At that price, when they get scratched/messed up you can pull out a new pair.

 

at least the wrap around safety glass look cool & are very comortable & Safe!!
try them on at the store & with a "croakie"they stay put!!
Face It googles look dorkie!!

 

If you think the winds bad try this. The hairs a$#&@%

 

Do any of those goggles work over glasses? Ima 4-eyes... And I wont be running a windsheild any time soon...
