23 Bucket to Phaeton / Touring T-Bucket

I'll bet that's a blast to drive with a full load of passengers; great for cruise nights at the burger joint! What are your plans for a windshield?

Funny you should ask. I've got a fabricator that has some interest in the car, read, works for cheap. I'm wanting to do a 1 piece radius top. While sitting in the seat I put a level on my head and the height of the windshield should be 24 inches, which is pretty darn tall, but we can always cut it down if it looks strange. I just ordered some 7/8" aluminum bar. We're going to try and bend it after a channel has been cut for the glass. If that doesn't work I also ordered some tubing with a 7/8" ID that I'm sure we can bend. I'll just use the tubing as a corner bracket at the top corners.

I am very open to suggestions on this.

Well, the two piece windshields that fold down, allow for a 'sportier' height when cruising topless. Just a thought . . .
