For those that are interested you can order the kit with your proper build date from Mike Driscoll. Here is his Ebay auctions for them.

RGJS 10-3 shows "Windshield Trademark Location" as per the first photo attached. I want to have the trademark as shown in the second photo (from 10-3). It height would be greater than 7/16". It is to be centered 1-3/4" from the left edge - great. What about the distance from the bottom? Should it be 1-1/4" to the bottom edge of the trademark and I should just ignore the 7/16" measurement?You do not have permission to view this gallery.

Neil that is what I was thinking. 1-1/4 to the bottom of the bug. Don't take my word for it, someone from the JS will see this and answer it for you.3~ Tudor's & 1~ Coupe

Ok the judges are NOT going to use a tape measure you can be sure. Here is what we are looking for on the outside of the glass. You cannot of course get it is between the glass Luke originals. But this could help you Neil and everyone. Also we are 1-3/4 from the outer edge of the passenger side and APPROX only 1-1/4 from bottom.You do not have permission to view this gallery.

If I still had Vermin, I'd ETCH Lady Bugs on ALL the windows---LOL
I do stained glass & know how to do it. I'd use my Harbor Freight Plug Cleaner, for a sand blaster. I once blasted a whole carbonator with it! (If I speld right, someone would think I wus an IMPOSTER!)

Mitch its not "critical" to the exact measurement BUT at the same time you want to keep within the parameters best you can

FYI - I am writing an article for the Double A'er (Ford Model AA Truck Club) about windshield assembly A-79405 (for 79-A, 82-A, 85-A). It would be good to have valid information in the article. I have created the attached for the article (subject to change if incorrect).Attached FilesRegards - Neil Wilson - [email protected]

About a month ago or so there were some questions on the BUG on the windshield and location, I was asked to take pics from our 29 roadster and did so. Hope this helps some out.You do not have permission to view this gallery.

from the beginning. Laminated Safety glass bore a trademark on them. With that said, Wind Wings after 1930 also had them

Ok thanks Mark you answered my question I was wondering if late 1927 model t Fords had them, so this was on the laminated safety glass not the original heavier plate glass used earlier before safety glass came out. Thank you very much. I am really looking forward to the judging at my first Model A national.

Having reviewed the posts about glass etching, I couldn't find the Model A kit shown on the 3rd Gen auto website . But it is listed on Ebay. Does anyone know how many stencils are in the kit and who has stencils for the side glass shown in the JS's, or are there any companies to custom make a sheet of the stencils to use with the etching paste?
