Hi everyone,

I have a ’30 RPU. It has no top, and it came to me with an ill-fitting ’32 chopped windshield on it.

Since I am not worried about originality (the direction I'm going to is a pre-war “hot rod,” with no mods that can’t be easily undone by the current or the next caretaker), I will probably purchase a 2” chopped windshield frame that is proper for the car.

The question I have is that both Speedway and Little Dearborn sell the frame I need, but neither sells the glass. I live in a decent-sized town with plenty of resources. Is this something I can possibly source locally custom-cut, or are their online outlets that would have this part readily available?

I have no experience with these cars, and all my experience is with early to mid-’60’s cars, which is a completely different ballgame.

Thanks in advance.
