Its a little low on one side by 1/4" and long by 1/8" on the other. Ill cut some tacks and reposition until its closer than that at least!

Hello Roy,

You are doing great, and making steady progress !!

Better late than never, here are some pictures of the Ford script on my windshield frame.
This will help you and other G members to locate a possible Ford logo on the early Ford windshields.

Paint usually fills the logo in, and all you can feel is a little divet or indentation in this area.
If you have a little dent, carefully scrape it and you should find the Ford script logo 😄😄😄

Best Regards,
Ray

Well, anyone following this thread, I've decided to sell this project. My situation has changed and I don't have room inside to store it. Come save it from the rain! $4000 is what I've got into it. 530-210-9709

Too bad. Hope you will find another restorer to continue your project.
