As a kid growing up in Cheyenne, Wyoming, Dick Rodwell was a mere 15 years old when he got into hot rods, the first of more than the 100 he's bought, built, and sold being a 40 Ford. That coupe was the beginning of what would become a lifelong passion.

A born hot rodder, Rodwell's competitive nature prompted him to help a dozen or so members of his car club, the Radicals, build the local drag strip, an ambitious undertaking in 1957. Proceeds from car shows and other fundraiser's, plus lots of effort on the business end of shovels, helped them meet their goal. In those early days, many very competitive racers honed their skills on the Cheyenne strip, including a kid named John, who would ultimately build a facility of his own in Morrison, Colorado, called Bandimere Speedway.

Eventually, Rodwell migrated to Salt Lake City and worked as a line mechanic, then managed a couple of used car lots, finally opening his own. But while he worked by day, he built hot rods the rest of the time, and it wasn't long before he earned a reputation for building some of the finest cars to be found.

It is tough to improve on a classic.

But that is exactly what Rodware has done. Veteran rod builder and Bonneville racer Dick Rodwell, and buddy world renowned automotive sculptor Stanley Wanlass have pooled their talents and designed a radically new windshield for 1932 Ford roadsters.

This unique windshield is the first product to be offered by Rodware. The windshield is designed to fit most original '32 roadsters, including most reproduction steel and fiberglass bodies.

Like all of our future products Rodware's unique windshield is built by rodders for rodders.
