Re: 1960 GMC Suburban

Well time for an update. The Burb has been sitting. With our local economy in the total dump, money is beyond tight. Unfotunately I have to move the burb to another location. The work that was completed 6-8 months ago went south.

Before we were able to seal the primer, enough moisture got under the primer to rust and blister the primer. So, time to take back down to metal. New type of primer and paint is going on Monday.

Picked up the new windshield today and the gasket should be in next week. Gotta order the side gaskets that are $$$$.

The main thing is some new side glass.

Does anybody know if the original was laminated or tempered. The existing appears to be a mixture of both.

Also, anybody have a good ( cheap) place to get the glass or should I just have it cut and made to match ?
