Glad you got back to it!
Mine is still sitting. One of these days I'll bolt it back together...

Post pictures Tom.

Installing the front and rear glass today. Cars ready, including painting part of the window channel black to hide the paint thru the glass. My youngest is home sick so I have one of the glass installers we contract at work bringing the windshield. The old one's not original so might as well go new. He's also going to clean the rubber from rear glass. All this could have been done months ago but I got to a point and walked away.

One corner of the headliner needs work but I'll probably just drive it to a shop and pay them to adjust that

Yes Sir, the srew holes are visible I just have to go thru my parts bags to locate the screws themselves. Did the factory use anything between the lower windshield trim and the cowl where it bolted to? Thanks again for looking out.

Nice Job Well Done!!! That trim fits great! Mine is still sitting ready to go. I need the garage to warm up a little more. We had snow all day today.

Thanks, I got lucky... it was warm the day we installed the glass. Oh but I also installed a Dayton industrial type garage heater before last winter too. (seen in the corner above the `Cuda) Now for some rubber

Video This was my youngest filming and its just for fun. It's blurry but it was a blast. She loved it. She immediately said of the exhaust and fuel smells "Ohhhh I love that smell" She said it with feeling like a car guy too.... the aire to keys. If you saw the precurser you'd understand her reaction LOL As a wee one I used to buckle her in, and ask "ready?" then dump the clutch and she'd fall over, I'd laugh, and she's say stop it.... she still remembers

Thanks to all. EDIT no it was not coded for the stripes


The car had the stripes still wrapped around the inner door? because it was under the original stainless factory door edge molding

<img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/shruggy.gif" alt="" />

EDIT Ooops no stripes PM if ya need some stripes LOL
