holey visor or not

Should I put holes in the model a Visor or not? Thoughts please :D
Wife says no, I say its flimsy and need's some strength with out a stiffner? Which looks better to every body?

Of course this is an opinion (mine)

I've seen the visors on Model A's with 1 to 2 inch holes in them and really don't care much for them. Is your car is a going to be 'rat'(I don't think so), then that might be different. Do you have that visor off now? If so, make up a similar cardboard version and see what it looks like. That's one Model A part that repro replacements have not been well made though I have seen homemade versions that are barely OK (now if you had a slant windshield '31 Fordor, it wouldn't have a visor)

Na it welded on, the make a tool to do it on the car, all you needs is a pilot hole. Just seeing what everbodys opinions are. Car will not be a rat :D

I've always liked them drilled, sort of gives a drag strip look to them. Guess it's just what you like that counts though, and what look you are going for.

Well I cant go by ERA, I got to much meat in the back :LOL: Me too reminds me of the drag look, flared or not flared look? A buddy of mine say's they didnt flare them in the good old days.

I like them flared too

My understanding is that they started drilling them to relieve air pressure as the cars went faster than Henry designed them to go.

I personally don't care for that look. For some reason it just draws my eye to it every time I see one, It takes away from the chop in the roof. Just my 2 cents, if you like it go for it. :)

I like them drilled and flared too, can't see what it has to do with a ratrod, they were doing it a long time before they came along.

I did this one on an A coupe a couple of months ago.

IMO, they look okay on a rat rod or a suede highboy, but I don't like them on a nicely finished rod.

Makes it easier to see stop lights.:)

Is it in the theme of the build or not. You can do a mock up on drawing paper and attach it to the visor to see how you like it.

Unfortunately, being too tall isn't Bob's problem with seeing traffic signals. :eek::D

Don

Thanks for all the comments :D As far as traffic lights about 6" from the back of the visor I have a sliding ragtop :D Still tossed I am leaning to more no holes, hate to put holes in it and then not like it :rolleyes: Might try some circles taped to it to check it out.
