Covid excuse to play hookey

[GB SISSON]

Finally started the windshield. I'm going with a V type roadster windshield but since I am anything but Boyd Coddington I am trying to stay away from the highly raked, chopped down look we so often see. I love the military flat windshields but I think this old jailbar wreck could use a bit of sportiness. My mind wandered to military aircraft as I love the exposed fasteners around the perimeter on a B-17 and other aircraft. My idea is the angle steel you see in the photos, a band of 3/8" key stock around the outer perimeter and a piece of matching steel strap on the inside. The 3/8 stock allows 1/4" safety glass and glass setting tape each side. 1/4-20 bolts sandwich it all together. I need to determine the height and a gentle curve across the top, two flat planes from the center post or whatever. I might bend an oak strip across and different heights to get a visual. This is a tough call getting this right. Right on a real roadster is one thing. Right on an Australian military rig is another.... Also, angled corners or radiused corners? I welcome photos. Am I opening up a can of worms?
