Thread: How to build a Duvall style roadster windshield.

Tweet

Drill holes thru the cowl, set the frame in place, with the studs sticking thru the cowl. Make REALLY BIG back up washers (I used peices of flat bar) and put nylock nuts on the threaded studs, and cinch everything down tight. Do this BEFORE you make your glass templates----things will move a bit when you tighten the bolts. Make your glass templates (or better yet, get your glass cutter guy to make them) and have 1/4" laminated safety glass cut and installed. Thats how I did it---A weekends fooling around in the garage, and i was very pleased with the results. If you are a good fit and finish man, your done. If your not quite that good, you may want to use a peice of fender welt between the frame and the cowl to hide any slight gaps.
