How are custom windshields made
Greets all,
Just a lurker and a hot rod/custom car fan. I don't have one of my own, but I like well built rigs as well as the next guy.
I have seen chopped tops in the past, in shows, on the road, and in pics. I always wonder how somebody gets a windshield to fit in chopped windshield frames. Just thinking about cutting something as simple as a flat windshield (like on a jeep or bronco) makes me bow down in respect to those who do so.
My questions are:
Are these windshields cast with some sort of pattern?
Or are they cut from existing windshields and made to fit?
As I mentioned, this is more of a theoretical questions for me since I don't have a rig of my own just yet. Thanks-
Mike was a great guy with a lot of knowledge and always had good things to say. May he rest in peace. I hope he's up there playing with hot rods now as well.
