Default Introduction

My name is Dean, Currently working on a 1957 resto rod brought to me in pieces without a front end. I have some concerns on the windshield support that I believe should be there and replaced.However this vehicle does nor did it ever have the support.Looking for some feedback on which way is the best to handle this.
Thank you

Hi Dean, As I thought when we talked you probably need to change your "Email Preferences so you get instant emails. Default is off IIRC.

A while ago Dean contacted me via my website and we've been talking about underdash reinforcements and the fiberglass nose work. When we talked and emailed I recommended he join CF due to the wealth of knowledge you guys that do the restomods can help him with.

I wish I had the knowledge that you guys have to do one some day.

Here are some pics that Dean sent me so I'll post here for him. He said he'll check in tonight.

Rich

ps I just realized this is the Intro Forum. Dean, create a new post on the C1/C2 General section detailing your build. I can post the pictures there too.
