Re: Rat repair.

Cut the old inside rubber outta the way on the sides and top of my cracked up windshield and popped her out, gotta admit I was a little nervous about the condition underneath but after I pulled the windshield off then I wiped it all down with mineral spirits and had a good look it put a smile on my face

I did however have one bad area that didn't pass the pick test but it got to solid metal within about a 3/8" square, the rest of the seal area cleaned up real nicely, there were a number of very small bubbled paint areas that I hit with a scotch disk to expose the surface pit then I applied GEM Rust Killer with a paint brush to let it work its magic.

I also had a couple small bubbles inside the cab that got the same treatment.

Had to stop for the day, hope to weld the hole in tomorrow morning...
