Gary49 building my first hot rod

[tfeverfred]

The posts are from CCR as is almost everything in my build.

Cool. The reason I asked is because CCR doesn't offer the slanted posts. Did you modify them?

 

[Gary49]

As luck would have it, I got lucky and ran across an older pair from them from when they did.

Lucky dog.

Speedway has the slanted windshield posts. But I found out that if you get in thru a
door, the windshield gets in the way when it's leaning back at 30 degrees. At least
for a standard body, don't know about an extended body. I had mine modified and
now they are 15°.

Mine are also 15 degrees

I couldn't find any when I bought mine. Where did you get yours?

I have a pair of Total's slant windshield post(not installed yet), yes it seems to me like they lean back to far. I have a stock windshield post and frame (25??) that I'm thinking of taking a little pie cut out of them to lean them back just a little.

 

[tfeverfred]

Yup, 30 degrees is a tad too much. Looks like modifying is the only choice, now.

 

[Intrepid]

Agreed .. making my own.

[Gerry]

Can't find a way to look for threads I started, so it will be a search to find that threat. Trouble is, no idea what I called it.

Found it but no pics showing thanks to photobucket

Windscreen brackets, simple to make

Might download the Firefox add on Indycarsposted. Haven’t tried it yet but will when I get home.

 

[Indycars]

Works with Firefox and Chrome.

Got that add on, so not sure why the pics don't work????

 

[Gary49]

I got my green tinted windshield on today and it worked out great. Thanks Diane and Jerry, I'm almost there. All I need now are my rear wheels and tires.
