[99 to Life]

Sept 19th weekend

a5ben, glad you like the tires. I get the most compliments on those and the biggest question asked is "what color you painting it? God I hate that question.

Got the windshield in- actually was easier than I thought, helps to have two people. I would recommend putting a rope in the inner side of the rubber that seats on the lip of the cab, make sure the end of the rope is on the inner side of the cab. Get it all in place and have someone on the outside push on the rubber and glass in one area, while the other guy pulls the rope from the inside. It works the rubber around the lip perfectly. Work with each other in the same direction. Took us about 15 minutes just to get the glass all in and secured. Oh, I had the glass cut locally for 90 bucks flat. I figured I would support the local community, it would have been almost exactly the same price through classicparts with shipping.

Finished sanding and undercoating the fenders, running boards and inner fenders. Began moching the front clip back up, as I am trying to cut these inner fenders to fit and they are a PIA for some reason. I think because of my bumper mounts I made, I have to cut the inner fender there where they meet. Once I get those on I will bolt the front clip on permanently and mount the radiator.

Next weekend will be trying to finalize the wiring as I made an hour one way trip the junk yard this weekend, to only find them to be closed. So I have to get some tail end pig tails from there and I can hopefully finish up the wiring.
