Duvall Gets Chrome

 The body we are using in this build is a Rats Glass �32 Roadster.  The Roadster has a few special features.  The doors are 3� longer.  The cockpit or seating area is also 3� longer.  It has a rear rolled pan. The stock eyebrow on the cowl has been removed.  Because of that fact a stock windshield assembly will not work with this new designed body.  The popular design Duvall windscreen will fit fine on the body. Our choice for the Duvall windscreen is Grant Engineering.
Grant Engineering supplies some of the biggest names in the business with their superb Duvall casting. The casting is a two piece design. Three small screws hold the top piece in place on the main casting.
The following pictures show the casting as it came in the solid shipping box.  The instructions are very easy to follow.
Follow along as we install the Duvall windscreen on the body.

 The first thing we did after removing the windscreen and checking the instructions was to set the windscreen on the cowl. After lining it up we marked the center and the outer edges of the casting locations on the cowl.
We then used the three points to layout our masking tape on the cowl.  After masking the locations we put the windscreen back on the cowl and checked our tape job. You want to make sure you have tape exposed on the leading edges.
We traced along the front edge of the casting on the tape.
