Looking absolutely brilliant! I just ordered me a pair of 2" chopped stanchions and now I know that I need to and how to cut them a bit more. 🍻 Merry Christmas.
Since you asked ..lol I think a little to much chop on the windshield.. but said with respect. Love most everything you do !! And it's your ride and it's awesome.
Happy New Year , and all the best Lee and Shannon . My gosh there's a lot of craftsmanship that went into that windshield frame and stanshions .... can't spell too well but I'm sure you'll understand .
Years ago I bought a big neon clock (Signal Gas) out of California. The seller took it to a UPS store where they boxed it using Styrafoam popcorn to protect it. (It should have been in a wooden crate with foam protection.) The popcorn compressed when other packages were laid on top and broke the neon glass! Anyways i receive it and 90% of the neon is broke. I open a claim, they said they would pay for all repairs & shipping. I sent it to a Neon shop in Vancouver and they repaired it perfectly and they sent the bill to UPS who paid for it as it was their poor packing which created the damage. So i totally understand what you went through Lee.
Looks very cool Lee , those stanchions turned out very nice. As for UPS , they are the worst . Their billing practices are terrible and trying to get somebody on the phone… forget it . Never a problem with FedEx. Anyhow , I love the channel and I wish you , Shannon and Doris all the best in 2023 . Cheers

Happy New Year Lee & Shannon.....I enjoy everything you folks do, and I so remember the 60s, and my love for cars, and the things I did with them. Question Lee....Have you ever thought of building an old school woody ? They are a show stopper. I built a 1930 Model A woody firetruck, back in the 90s, and the wife and I put 28000 miles on it, and it was camera magnet everywhere we went....Just a thought :-)
Thank for the content. Have you ever seen the Pinkee's Rod shop 29 Model A truck? That has the best looking windsheild and cowl on a 29 I have ever seen. It has a slight bow to top bar of the windsheild. If I win the lotto, I want to build a Brookville roadster borrowing some of those mods.
Any time I need to straighten delicate frames or trim, I just hold either side and bounce the bent section on a tire or soft block of wood. Easy does it.
Regarding your UPS rant (with some people it is Fed Ex Ground). As a former P&D Contractor with RPS (Roadway Package System now Fed Ex Ground) I am privy to the way the small package system works and UPS is similar (actually UPS is the older company since 1909). What we have here is that there are many packages run through the distribution system and they vary in size, weight, and of course there are fragile items being transported with heavier items and this puts us in a situation where there can be damage to items that are shipped (although we must remember that the people in this particular industry are also customers receiving goods and there is a constant effort to improve service in this area) Moving packages through a system such as this boils down to production. Production beings as there is only so much time allowed to sort the various packages going through the system in order to get things delivered on time. At RPS when damages were inspected at the terminal ninety nine percent of the time claims were denied due to improper packaging. I can understand a receivers frustration at receiving an item damaged but unfortunately this is the system we have to deal with. The best way to handle this is to purchase the item from Iron Trap and get in your ride and drive to their location receive the item from them (after inspecting it) and drive back to your location. This will get the item out of the logistics of any of the carriers (UPS, FED EX, USPS, etc). If the item is damaged when you get to your location then you must file a claim with the person you are looking at in the mirror. Of course you and I know that this is not a practical solution to the problem. One could engage with a specialized carrier that would guarantee damage free service but the cost of that service would be greater and for certain items would be unfeasible. Actually when there were damages I would advise the receiver to contact the shipper, which in this case would have been Iron Trap Garage and they should file the claim with the shipper and you get your money back through Pay Pal.
So what your saying is, it’s okay for a company to charge customers additional money for insurance, but then not payout when the company damages the product? And instead, I should drive 5000kms to another country and pick up the item myself? That’s ridiculous. UPS needs to take accountability for their actions.
@@LGKustoms If I remember right there is automatically 100.00 insurance applied to all shipments and if the customer wants more coverage it is so much per 100.00 extra coverage. My comment about driving 5000kms to another country to pick up an item would ensure that the item is not damaged. Of course that it not practical but if one wants damage free shipments then one should fetch the items himself. Of course there are other companies that can carry the item and may do a better job. The crazy brokerage fees and rules are kind of out of our hands as the US Government and the Canadian Government have a trade treaty and the rules are in said treaty. It is the shippers duty to buy the insurance (of course the cost is passed onto the consumer) and it should be the shippers duty to file a damage claim with the carrier (of course the verdict is almost always improper packing). Here's one for you; We had a customer that sent out a rebuilt hydraulic cylinder on a C.O.D. basis and the package was lost. Well that shipper filed a claim and what RPS paid on that claim was 100.00. Why? Because the shipper did not Declare Value of 5,000.00 on that insurance and the first 100.00 was free but every 100.00 there after was so much per 100.00 claimed (I forget what the rate was) The sales rep that handled the account tried to go to bat for the shipper but RPS denied their claim. Of course the shipper quit using us and did more business with UPS, but the rule applied the same with UPS. The shipper learned a valuable lesson about declaring value on packages. It is unfortunate but this is how these companies work. Perhaps Iron Trap Garage should get into delivering their products themselves as well as other automotive vendors. I'm not trying to defend these small package carriers but they give the best rates as compared with truck freight, and this is how they are allowed to operate under transportation laws.
Lee, I too have a horror story with UPS.....I avoid them like the plague, I had a friend in Maine that sent me a Belt/Disc industrial sander to Tennessee, it was crated, anchored well, and then strapped and boxed for shipment, and when I got it it was bent in half, and literally destroyed, filed a clam, denied, why, poor packing, after the ups deliver guy watched me take the box apart to show him the damage, sound familiar? The UPS driver took it, back, and I never heard about it again....I use, and always will use Fed Ex or Priority USPS mail. I have been told that when packages come down the conveyor belt at UPS, they fall down on other packages, and many are destroyed, but still delivered, hoping people will just take them and TRY, to file claim that never happens. I restored an old Chevy pickup, and in the center of the grill there is a Chevrolet emblem piece about 24 ish inches long, it was shipped in a 5 foot box, bubble wrapped and packed real well, when UPS delivered it to me, the box was bent right in half, and guess where the emblem was....yup.....NO MORE UPS....!!!!
I know it's not Funny --- BUT ---- You had me in stitches with the UPS story ---- Mike at Iron Trap Garage does the Shipping of the parts ---- he does a REAL good job ---- packaged well -- so heavy things (DRUMS) don't bust through the box ---- Taped up tighter than a Drum ----- The Chop looks really good ---- the extra half inch --- don't know ---- would need for you to move the camera around for more views to really say Yes --- as you said --- Hey --- It's A Hot Rod now ---- You'll be LOOKING to ---- the Thirty-two -----Thank You for the Chop ----- Rodney
Nice job on the frame...I try to get pointers from any video I watch..plus with every problem you worked thru it to fix any defects fantastically.....watching your fix may have solved a problem that I have on a roadster truck... I need to fix the inside part that the frame attaches to on the body itself...The first try at banging sheet metal did not work...after watching you make the tube work by slicing it together I think I can slice and dice round tube and make it work better and I want it to look the same as an original piece and get one of my caged bolts and weld that to the inside tube and maybe finish the stanchion body brace, the part the two screws attach , mine are rusted on a roadster truck....they don't sell just the top part...round tube may also work making my own windshield tops...with slicing and flattening out the tube gradually... now looking for some thin wall tubing...to give it a go...its only metal, just keep at it till it works....thanks

Yeah UPS sucks - appalling customer service. Glad it finally worked out for you - but you shouldn't have had to go through all that crap. Man those stanchions look stock! great problem solving - not only with the windshield but with the UPS situation. Beautiful work as usual !
Thanks for the compliment on the stanchions. I don’t know if it did all work out with UPS, I never did the the chromed chopped windshield. At least I got my money back, but I was so stoked on having that frame!
@@LGKustoms Sorry - totally over-looked the chrome frame . Looks like someone got a nice chromed frame (if you know what I mean).

I refer to UPS as "oops". I do all I can to avoid shipping with them when I purchase items, especially when coming from the US. I've even gone with a different vendor for parts to avoid UPS because they're so irritating.
When you get it back from the chrome shop and before you take it to the glass shop be sure to tape it up. this should help to keep them from scratching the shit out of it. Ask me how I know.
8:52 Lee I don't know if you watch Mr. Pete 222, the internet shop teacher, on you tube but he can go off on rants about the postal service and UPS. Yes he hates them too.
Ups lost $750 in original model T door hinges. They have have no clue where they are. Sent them a copy of a receipt. They sent me $50 and said good luck. Then a few months later I seen then on eBay for sale. Wasn’t able to buy them back.
I had the same thing happen with UPS. Months of messing around and denied. I have never used UPS again or will I. My part was not nearly as cool as yours or as costly. I got 50% of the value back. Not a big loss but very discouraging. It not just because you are in Canada. It looks like you have salvaged your extisting frame very well.
I realize it’s nots just because I’m in Canada. The Canada part is in regards to UPS charging an additional 25% charge when they get to the door for bringing the package in to Canada. Not 25% of the shipping charges, 25% of the package value. I ordered a Classic Auto Air kit a couple years ago, the vendor shipped UPS without telling me. And then the UPS driver gave me a bill for $395 when he arrived at my door.
It’s only there to keep the cops happy. If I was allowed to run no windshield I would. Also, not sure if you watched the whole video, but I explain how the next thing I’d like to do is lower the seat several inches.
@LGKustoms FedEx lost a set of tires, never delivered them told me tuff luck contact the seller just like you had happen with ups. Seller ignored me. 2 months later a neighbor down the street found them behind bushes and luckily could still read the address and brought them to me otherwise I would have been out hundreds of dollars. There are more first hand experience with them at my work that sucks but that is my own personal experience and shipment. They all suck and don't have to do anything even if they don't do there job.
If you need further assistance from UPS, please contact us with your information via a Private Message or Direct Message on one of our social channels: Facebook, Instagram or Twitter @UPS.
Why can't it be comfortable? In this day and age some comfort should be possible. Cars are meant to be driven. Comfort allows that, unless it's a race car.
@@LGKustoms they smashed an art piece I sent to a gallery in Hollywood. It was packaged to survive a fall from the Empire State building. Fortunately the gallery owner paid to have it fixed. Wouldn’t work with either of us to pay up insurance wise and I paid $100 to insure it for $1000.
I never received the windshield though. It arrived damaged, and when the driver saw it was damaged, he put it back on his truck, and I never saw it again.
@@LGKustoms My experience with my model T roadster on a 3000 mile trip with no top was that I was unable to talk to my daughter sitting next to me without shouting over the noise from the wind blasting over my 13 inch slanted windshield. : )

Ups is still better than FedEx which really shows how terrible FedEx is. The insurance on packages is a joke. They never seem to pay out
I disagree. I get packages from FedEx often, never had an issue, and never had outrages brokerage fees!
@LGKustoms FedEx lost a set of tires, never delivered them told me tuff luck contact the seller just like you had happen with ups. Seller ignored me. 2 months later a neighbor down the street found them behind bushes and luckily could still read the address and brought them to me otherwise I would have been out hundreds of dollars. There are more first hand experience with them at my work that sucks but that is my own personal experience and shipment. They all suck and don't have to do anything even if they don't do there job.

UPS is the absolute worst 💯
Worst company ever.

Why can't it be comfortable? In this day and age some comfort should be possible. Cars are meant to be driven. Comfort allows that, unless it's a race car.
How the hell do they break a camshaft?! 🤷♂️
Too bad about the chrome windshield.
FedEx is just as bad if not worse.
FedEx doesn’t have the outrageous brokerage fees. I order from Summit often, and they deliver with FedEx. Never had a bad experience.
@@LGKustoms they smashed an art piece I sent to a gallery in Hollywood. It was packaged to survive a fall from the Empire State building. Fortunately the gallery owner paid to have it fixed. Wouldn’t work with either of us to pay up insurance wise and I paid $100 to insure it for $1000.
Chrome don't get you home.
But I’m already at home John…
@@LGKustoms well go ahead then.
Too late to sit in the seat and check!
Why did iron trap garage have to lose money over UPS's mistake and all fairness you should send them their money back to iron trap garage
I never received the windshield though. It arrived damaged, and when the driver saw it was damaged, he put it back on his truck, and I never saw it again.
@@LGKustoms I apologize Keep up the good work
UPS 🤮 everyone is brave when hiding behind a phone 😂
Dollar bill chop
Maybe? We don’t have dollar bills in Canada. Maybe you could send a dollar and I’ll try it!! 😆 😆
One inch! Don't forget the bugs in your teeth.
Isn’t that part of the experience?
@@LGKustoms My experience with my model T roadster on a 3000 mile trip with no top was that I was unable to talk to my daughter sitting next to me without shouting over the noise from the wind blasting over my 13 inch slanted windshield. : )
