    Talking to yourself is OK. Arguing with yourself is less ok. When your both wrong is bad.

    That windshield frame came out sweet Brent! I like the way you made the tilt outs. I need a plasma table, Santa!!!

    Wow 113K subs. I remember finding and subscribing to your channel when it was under 500. Good design and execution on the windshield frame.

    Nice addition to the car. Much better thana fixed windshield. Every car deserves a few pieces of jewelry - it makes them feel 'special'.
    As always, thanks for the great work and interesting content.

    Who would've thought a 1/4 would have made all the difference....yes once you added that visor it really would look like a stormtrooper ...lol looking very nice

    To: Mr. Brent Coachbuilder, I really enjoy your channel. You might say I am living my life vicariously through you. I always wanted to do what you are doing. Life, career, raising kids etc got in the way. Now I’m to old and to broke to do this type of work. I tried though. I once was a certified master mechanic. I also taught auto service technology. Oh well, times come and go. I’ll keep on walking forward and enjoying your work. God bless you and Wanda Coachbuilder. All the best to you.

  • @david929190
    @david929190 2 ปีที่แล้ว +3

    That came out good. If you make windshield latches that are L shaped when the window is all the way forward they would drop down into the leg of the L to keep the window forward without having to tighten knobs. That's how our old Alice tractor work.

    That was really good. I enjoyed that video. I have a tractor with a cab on it and my back window had the same kind of openings openers that you used. I made my with flat stock drilled two holes at each end. Cut one end out. Use the bandsaw and welded the piece back in and it worked great. That's just one way you can do it. And also I picked up some of that paint yesterday. I'm going to give it a try. 👍👍🙂🇨🇦🐕🐕🐕

  • @harrymonahan4999

    @crbrepairmotorcycles6608 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Alot of thinking going on here 😂 But I knew the direction you was going by following along with the tunes looks like it turned out great once the glass is in it will be fine, I thought you might round off the corners of the frame👍Keep on going and we"ll keep on watching the progress

  • @allanimalstaxi
    @allanimalstaxi 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Well another great educational tutorial video on making functional front window on a hot rod and very well done. It looked factory made at the end of the video, just needs a little fine tuning, paint and some glass. I have a 1954 F-350 pickup truck, they no longer make wind shields for them, I might have to reweld another close fitting wind shield into it, if I cannot find one. And that's one of the reasons why I watch your videos, it gives me ideas, it teaches me ways to over come problems, even if it is a major job. Keep them videos coming my friend and take care

    Brilliant. Metal is definitely your medium. Having come from a carpentry background, I'm constantly amazed at how you can massage metal any way you want it. It's a continuous medium that can be formed and reformed in any shape or dimension that you want. Great job. And thanks for the education in the art of metal forming.

    Fabricating the windshield frame was a great video to watch. I especially like your “no nonsense no slide rule” engineering. Ya just make it work and it works. I know you are leaving the top for the future owner but would love to see it done…..as always, thanks for inviting us all to Halfass Customs Garage.👍👍

    Great job.... If I might suggest on your next job similar to this you use a scribing compass that you set your distance and and move along the radius.
    ALSO....for those that thought your arc radius was not symmetrical, the camera has a fisheye distortion to the shot.

    Window looks great. When I did my 33 truck, I built the frame out of 3/4 angle, and faced it with about 1/16 plate. And weld on bullet type hinges The window is glued in and has been fine. I like your frame and shop made side latches

    @jaywebb3105 2 ปีที่แล้ว

    Brent has a reason for everything that he does. I would have checked fit of the old windshield and if the curve was right on the bottom used it to copy my angle on my new stock. Brent knows what he's doing. Sorry for the arm chair quarter backing there...lol
