Shoebox one piece windshield

[Billbwi]

I got a 49 shoebox that I want to install a one piece v bent windshield in. I know some modifications have to be done to the pinchweld for it to fit but can’t find anything on the internet. Has anyone installed one and could give me some advice?

the bent w/s I've seen get pretty distorted in the center unless they've changed in last few yrs.

I even checked the slang dictionary. No results for dwfi. Don't leave me out here in the cold!

It's "DFWI" and it's an acronym you probably won't find in "polite" reference works.

I knew that much from the git go ...Never mind, I fingered it out.

Why pay $420 to ruin your car? Plus, it really doesn't fit without modifications to glass and car.

'49-'51 Chevrolets (Olds windshield)? - Yes. '49-'51 Fords? No.

To me the difference is the curved vs. flat windshields. The curved windshield just don't look right with the divider. Vice-versa for the flat winshields.
