Tony's 40 ford

Using the cardboard template from the left side and the steel vent window template I was able to place the chopped right side "A" pillar in place and attach a piiece of rod to help hold it in place.

Stand back and eyeball everything to make sure it looks right.

Now we start fabbing the transition pieces between the "A" pillar and the cowl.

I added a piece of 1" sqaure tubing between the two "A" piller pieces. It's angled in the middle to match the angle in the middle of the cowl. Then the center pieces of the winshield frame were trimmed and welded in.

Once it was all welded up and ground smooth it looked pretty good although it looks a little thin in the middle. We'll address that when we do the rust repair to the top surface.

Here's the tubular inner structure that we added to replace the sheet metal pieces that were in the 51 windshield frame.
