    '32 closed windshield frame

     



    Need some help locating the company or companies that are fabricating the decorative windshield frames used to cover a glued in windshield. The application is for a chopped glass 5 window. Appreciate any input.
    THANKS, STEVE HELLER - "SMHELLER@COMCAST.NET"

    windshield frame

     



    We purchased one from DJ and were satsified. If you are building a car there are some things you think cost too much but just finish the car off. That is the case with this frame. It so trims the car out. We have a BeBop body and the frame fit very well.

    Why didn't D&J make them as wide as an original........they should be real close to 1" wide? They look too narrow to me, and it makes them look fake.

    I ended up making mine from scratch....1" wide.
    On a quiet night, you can hear a Ford rust.

    You need to ask D&J the reason why. I really like their frame for my N&N body, I think with the smaller windshield from the chopped top, it looks perfect. JMO

    They might not be as wide as stock but it is still a major improvement over just the rubber, and they fit.
