Slant Windshield Wooden Header Replacement

[Bick in New Zealand]

When I did the wood in the Victoria, a friend had done his header previously, and made them in two pieces, so that they could be fitted, after welding. It worked out really well. Of course Murray was just interested in getting them out the door, so you will find charred wood from the welding , during body construction. Hopefully Spider may chip in and add some further comments.

Thank you.

I was just thinking that there must somehow be a better way to accomplish this without the metal cutting and welding.

Do you know if there are any repair manual chapters dedicted to this situation?
