I've been looking at the windshield frame that came with my M38a1 tub and I just don't like it. It's rusted out at the driver's side clamp and it just looks boring. I'd like to use the windshield glass that came in it , chop it down about 4-6", and build a vertical frame to hold it in place of the slanted one. I think it would give it more of a look of a 20's roadster that way.
I figure I can weld some angle iron onto the side of the tub to act as windshield stantions, but attaching the windshield to the stantions is what has me a bit baffled. I'll be happy with a fixed vertical windshield, but if I can have it vent, that would be all the cooler. To add to the complexity, I do have a pair of 12 volt top mount wiper motors that I'd like to incorporate into it as well in the event I can get this street-legal.
Obviously, the easiest thing would be to just get another m38a1 frame that's in better shape, but what's the fun in that?!?!?!
