If you or someone else buys one of these, I'm sure we all would like to hear some feedback on them.

To be honest, I had no idea this guy's visor was 'glass. I agree though, I'd much rather have steel.

Re: Windshield visors... do they exist?

with me it depends what cost more and what last longer
if the glass is cheaper and can last just as long im with the fiber glass
sorry guys money is tight.. i rather buy the store brand. .

Re: Windshield visors... do they exist?

I don't have a list yet....it's going to be a while before I get around to making a visor. But I will let you guys know when I do.

Re: Windshield visors... do they exist?

I found one that supposedly fits 60 thru 66 came from Oregon. The guys said that it was the last one made because they didn't catch on.

Nope. Still no time with working 80 hrs a week every week still. Too many orders to build and ship everyday, plus my local work.

Re: Windshield visors... do they exist?

Hi Cap yeah I don't think it's going to happen is what your saying wow and it has been 6 years. I had an idea of buying one for a 55-59 and adding a few inches of metal to the center. A guy named Big Jim's fender skirts on the web
has a bunch for about every thing except 60-66 I think I will try that. I was wondering what you thought of the idea Cap they are primmer-ed so they would need painting anyway....Vernski

Re: Windshield visors... do they exist?

How have you been Vern? I need to call your son in-law one of these days.

Adding a section is doable, but the trick is keeping it straight and flat when welding it back together. Darren should be able to handle that.
