Stink bug...yeah..that time of year.

Good luck...I'd recommend my glass gal...but she just broke #2 replacement windshield for Op X.
But ..in her defense done. ..its not flat glass.
She said it was fine until it cooled down from the laminate melt and sanding.
From a family of local glass cutters..who has served our family well over 40 years both in rental and auto Kustom stuff its hard to really be mad about it..

I have one more used ..but..
....its getting expensive.. and frustrating..

Back and forth, over and over, bondo and sand.
Gauge pods next.

Front fuel lines ready to layout. Being aware of dissimilar metals reacting, it's just a layout.

Well I'm certainly appreciative of the nice words.. ..and nudge of encouragement,..

That whole cross over old school red headed step child American GM flat 6 to hot rod powered VW was my whole love for hacking it together.... as I noted in the build .. it was like it was meant for me as a lifer GM tech.. to do..

I just wish I had your metal mending work skills.. : .. it would have turned out much more refined.. ...

Windshield #3 now at the hands of das butcher . all . .well most appendages crossed.

Last look at Brake Pedal Stop before being dolly'd up and called pretty.
