Thanks.

I've been referring to my approach as a "Day 2000" restoration. I am putting it back together mostly stock with some minor modern "Day 2" type upgrades - larger disc brakes, modern shocks, stainless lines, polyurethane bushings, 17 inch wheels, CD player. The original colors will be maintained and it will be mostly stock appearing outside and in. I am going to put a 380HP Mopar Performance crate engine initially, but it will eventually get the 340 in it once it's rebuilt.
I'm also planning to go with bigger torsion bars, firm feel power steering gear and HD strut rods. I want it to handle better than stock but I'm not out to build a G-machine.

Looks like your glass is up on a shelf. This is an old photo but shows how I stored my glass during the build. I used garage hooks and then slit a section of hose lengthwise and installed it on the edges of the glass to further protect it. Works great.

I ended putting the rear and front glass up in the attic room above the garage. It's a 12x26 area with a 7 foot ceiling so it is basically a second floor. I did hang my hood up on the wall though to keep it out of the way
