1967 Convertible Windshield Angle & Tolerances

Need to know if any one knows what angle the windshield is if measured on the passenger / driver's short portion of the windshield frame (with car level). My '67 convertible has some serious rust on both rockers and the windshield frame flexes quite a bit. I have measured 42 degrees on one side & 44 on the other. I'm working on fabbing braces to set these dimensions prior to any major rust removal.

Thanks for the Help.

I don't know the angle, but I can take measurements from certain points If you want.

Thanks,

That would be helpful. I have droppped plumb bobs from each frame to the rocker panel & measured back horizontally with the car level. I have also made measurements from the wind. frame back to the inner door frame (striker side). I can send you some pics if necessary.

Pics or a sketch of exactly where you want the measurements to and from would be great.

There is an old post that should be a sticky. It measures the convertible windshield to the quarter panel door area. This might help.
