Re: [FWDLK] Repro Windshield Project Update

[hans.granberg@xxxxxxxxxx]

Wayne,

What about those windshields made in Finland, I thought there was someone marketing them in the States? I don't think they were that pricey even with the freight. Or was there some problems with those...just curious to know.

I realize there is much interest out there as to what has become of the reproduction project for the '60-64 windshields. 

Below is the update from Vic Phillips as to where it currently stands.  Fellas, if we are going to have windshields as the years roll on, it is going to take a man like Vic or someone exactly like him ( who???) to get the job done because he is a dedicated hobbyist.

 

So please let Vic know of your ongoing interest and support by dropping him an e-mail at  classicglass@xxxxxxxx  .

I'm not involved in this project other than hoping to see it done, wanting one for my 300F Special, and being a correspondent of Vics partly because we both own Studebakers!
