Default How I made up new Pat 12 Windscreen

OK- Finally have my editing software talking to my website host once again so here is a link to making up a new windscreen for my Pattern 12 Chevy, basically the same for Pattern 13 frames. Hope that it helps.

I've got some more pictures to add hope to get those taken and posted later this week.

Cheers Phil

Default Have you considered publishing the content of your web site....

Phil to the rescue again...... with dimensions, tools, jigs and tips.....

You should be charging admission.....

Now that I see how you did it..... it makes me wonder if I would not be wasting my time trying to repair my frame which is very religious...... scroungin' M37 frames may be cheaper than all rthe epoxy I would need to repair mine..... beside my cab 11 windscreen does not have to open.... it a basically an open and shut case.......

Other possibility is to salvage enough channel from my spare windscreen using the upper portion.

It seems that all the old windscreen frame had the same tendency to collect water...... try finding a good un rusted 1947 - 56 Dodge power wagon windscreen frame...... and when you do... look for 3 to $400 US dollaroos...

Thanks Phil for the ongoing free consulting advice...

Bob

Hi Phil,

what priceless information! I must say that the members of this forum really share info that would be impossible to gather so quickly any other way. Its most appreciated.

When you approached the steel shop to enquire about how much the sections cost to fabricate, ie with the retooling needed, what did they quote? I'm thinking that the price for 200 feet would be interesting as it would appear that sections could be on sold to other members of this forum to recover costs.

Oh, and by the way, your restoration of the monkey face looks superb.

cheers

james
