I suppose everyone wonders why I just didn't get a 32 Ford winshield frame built to custom specs? Well, it would be a miracle if that could be done on a mailorder basis and then fit good, plus I need to use the build money for things I need more. I'd guess a frame would be $500. I did have to chop the Dodge frame down a lot. I did hold the top part up while my son & I looked at the height. He wanted a big chop, and I wanted it a little less. We made marks on the side, and chopped the tops off. But when I put the frame together and put it in, it looked too tall. So, I figured an inch more would be good, but it really makes it look hammered now. 
EDIT; Sorry about the big pics, I'll resize the following ones that I post.
I picked up a 4x8 sheet of 18 gauge yesterday, so I will build a new header.
