arghh! I'm already screwing up the reassembly LOL>

Maybe rivit from underneath??? I'll have to dig in and get innovative if possible.

Anybody have any ideas or have this happen to them? I got my car as a disassembled project. So I missed this.




Yes, it happened to me and the only proper way to fix it is to take the windshield out.

Ouch!!! Will do!

My sassy grass car is blacked out, It still has original paint.




Awesome car! Yes, the black out is next on my vert. I'll have to heat up the garage and mask off to hit it with a black.

That looks like a brand new windshield, so if it were mine....I'd pay the glass man to come take it out and put it back in. See if he can drink a whole cup of coffee in the 2 minutes it will take you to install the dash! When you install the dash, sand the backside of one of the bottom legs down to bare metal, and do the same to the area that it bolts to on the body near the kick panel. Coat it with silicone dielectric grease before you stick it on the bolts. That way you will insure yourself of a good solid ground for the dash frame. I know you're thinking but it only take a small amount of bare metal on each piece to make a good ground. It doesn't even need to be big enough to show once the dash is bolted on. Don't forget to tape the engine compartment side of the bolt holes on your radiator support before you paint them....DAMHIK Your car is looking great. Glad you got it home safe and sound.

Hey Joe,
Thats my friends Charger. I've been holding it while he's been doing the bodywork on the Cuda. The car is awesome. People gravitate towards it when it goes to a show
