Hotrod Dave here,when we built the windshield frame on my 31 ford,we cut off the stock posts and fabled a v,d sheet metal frame,cut out the panels for the glass.Next we sent the cutouts to the glass guy.we marked the templates for which side,the glass guy didn,t.One side needed a little grinding.It turned out great,looks like it,s doing 200 mph sitting in the driveway.It,s about 8 inches tall.2inches taller would make my seating situation easier.

The Duvall provides that true classic look that makes the car look like it's going fast... even while it's standing still! In my opinion, the posts just look like a clunky add on that takes away from the pure streamline nature of the Hotrod designs of the time when aviation enthusiast returning from the war were starting to apply lessons learned in aero dynamics to make their cars lighter, leaner and faster! This is only my opinion, yours may be different and will respect yours whatever it is.... follow your dreams and passions for pure joy!

Hi Matt, I really enjoy watching each piece that you manufacture, modify and place in the car, it looks very good as it is going and how it evolves to become a beautiful hot rod, very good the image in the 11:40 minute showing that Matt I'm not bald yet, to my envy that with 47 years I have little left to comb pe, I hope my sense of humor is understood in the translation and as always I send you a big hug from Buenos Aires Argentina.

As much as I love the Duvall style my vote is for using a later model window frame and doing a proper job of blending it in. that would look real neat!

Cope the doors to blend the dash ... and no fixed post windshield treatments. The first 2 shown look like sh*t .. makes it appear as if someone chopped the top off a coupe. Bleh' !!! You could make up a nice Hallock or Duvall piece I'm sure .. or swap/purchase one of the castings. I like the Wanlass windshields but my opinion is too much playback. If you could blend your own vision of a Wanlass Hallock Duvall inspired windscreen treatment .. it would fit the show rod, Hollywood playboy style build of a period correct, high end "what if" build. Type in your search of either Duvall or Hallock windshield .. with Kustomrama. Tons of black & white photos of roadsters wearing either. Love this build !! Love all your builds .. but am leaning heavy on all show build roadsters. Buzz DeChamp's '31 roadster, Tommy the Greek's '36 Phaeton, Tony La Masa/Ricky Nelson roadster, Eddy Dye's roadster, Mac Schutt roadster .. hell even Barney Navarro's roadster. Vision is everything. Make it happen !! Some of those listed are Duvall, while others are traditional or no windshield. Check out Sylvester McCabe's '29 roadster, & Jackie Howerton's '32 roadster .. both have Duke Hallock windshields. Basically inspired by the Auburn Speedster's windshield of lore. Have fun Matt !!! As if you don't already. We know you do !! Can't wait to see what's next !
