The windshield maker in Pa. called NCIndustries “windshieldframes.com” was nice rnough to send a sheet of cross-sectional frame pictures and some samples of material. Bob Petruschak is the contact and very helpful. The diamensions you supplied will help. After i review the samples we’ll see if we can reconstruct a new windshield. Found a pair of…[Read more]

Ed, Thanks for the layout . It looks like yours will fit my shell . I have sent out requests to several suppliers and have actual dimensions to refer to. Many thanks.

Gosh , thanks for all the advice and diagrams. That gives me an idea of what it is suposed to look like. I was concerned about the final fit in relation to the soft top. I guess the’rake’ or aft tilt of the frame must be set when the top is being assembled. The vertical height of the frame is important to me so as not to put the frame too far out…[Read more]

Thanks Roy, I sent a note and will wait and see. There is a company that manufactures classic car windshield frames in Pa. but they have not responded to my request as of yet. I still am looking for a couple pictures to use as a guide since I don’t quite know the dimensions of the frame or what it is suposed to look like.

Thanks George, a boat shop I would have never thought of . All I need now is a template or drawing . Maybe I can bribe MG Magic to supply their spec’s with a purchase of something else.If anyone could post a few pictures of their windshield since I don’t quite know what they look like it would help in making one up that looks nice. Many thanks!

Thanks Dan, but he’s right, I need the frame most importantly. The idea of a rod shop to custom make sounds possible. I will get the dimensions and e-mail that custom shop and see if it is a possible fit. I guess MG Magic is looking for a maker like that when they decide to restock. I’ll keep bugging them. By the way, they were asking alot for…[Read more]

I guess im learning,,no two are alike. Time to start cutting, regardless of what the “manual”says. Will let you see what results.

I will become a customer of Rick Drake it seems. Thanks for the help ,,again.

Thanks. Its great to know there are supportive folks out there. Its a long haul to get to the finish line. Don’t want this to become a DNF like its first life.

Thanks…will give local NAPA a shout. Guess its junk yards for handle and mountings.

Got a few pioctures of the ‘Project’. Coming apart nicely. Sandblasting the chassis now. Assemble soon.

Thanks for the chevette source , will resort to when all my locals dry up.

Thanks for the warm wlcome. Will gather up the loose peices and put some photos up. I am in the process of rebuilding the engine with new seals and gaskets since it sat for sooo long. Had the head milled and valves done. Thats the easy part. The body work will be the challange. I know right now I need a complete windsheild and frame. Door hardware…[Read more]
