Thanks, I really wanted it to be as close as I could make it to the original way it was.I think bias ply tires really give an authentic look to an old vehicle. I get the radial thing, butthey just don't look right to me.

I like that you are keeping it like original including bias ply tires.

Here it is installed, it seems to seal up really well and crank out nice and easy.

Hi Guys, I finally have the windshield completed and the glass installed. It turned out better than I hoped. My friend has a glass shop and found some really cool gasket materialthat goes between the glass and the frame and makes the install look really clean. |

good work on the frame. They are hard to work because of the complex hollow internals. For curves, I've found that cutting the curve on a flat sheet and welding the outer and inner surfaces along the corners works well. Keep up the updates,

How exciting to have those pictures. You did some very good fab work on that windshield frame.

Here is a cool set of photos (you may have to zoom in) of the Fargo in the 40ies and later.The little girl in the bonnet is my Mom and the boy is my uncle that really liked the Fargo and drove it a lot. Seeing it again last summer brought tears to his eyes.

I managed to find some seals for the shocks through an industrial supplier I deal with at work. Its just a modern dual lip seal made by Timken.I also purchased some new shock eye bushings from energy suspension and they seem reasonably good quality. I thought I would include a pic of the shock gland tool I fabbed up when I saw the price of and original one.
