I got the windshield fixed today, ordered a precision gasket, but after looking online at the install process I decided that I would be better off getting a glass shop to install it, and I am glad I did. it took 4 of them to do it. they didn't struggle too much , but they needed all 8 hands.
you can see in this pic that I also had to switch to a later mirror bracket, the '60 bracket I had on there wouldn't allow the vent window to open all the way.
I finally found a spray paint that matches the "patina" and got the upper portion of the grille support painted.
We have a lot of choices for license plate designs here in montana (if you have some time to check them out, here is the link to the 100 or so different plates you can get:

I found this black plate that is nice and plain and looks good, the lady at the dmv came back with the "...065" number and said since it was a 65 she had dug through the pile to get me that number!
