    Made the windshield templates and cut down the rubber I decided to make them out of hardboard so they were sturdy enough to test fit in rubber and install especially with the price of glass I only want to do it once. I got them fully installed and fit like a glove. While waiting on glass ill iron out some body work on windshield frame and roof

    I got the windshield installed. I also decided on a color and painted windshield frame before installing glass. I'm very happy with the fit. My next step is to tear the front suspension apart and replace bushings tie rods ball joints etc. And hopefully make this thing a driver and enjoy it a little while before winter hits and then it's back to bodywork.

    Coupes usually do not chop well with the short roof. I thought wow, this coupe chop looks really good.
    Looking close....It's not a coupe. It's tudor sedan. This is why this chop looks so good.
    Your Tudor Sedan looks really good.
    Great work on the floors!

    Careful when heading down that winding road to the state line...you never know when that cruiser will slide out from that billboard and head you off at the pass...:eek:

    I finished rebuilding the front suspension new buschings tie rods ball joints . I ended up cutting 1 1/2 coils off new springs sits about right. I couldn't resist sticking a fender on to get an idea of how it will sit. But I am stuck on identifying the trans as I need a dipstick tube if anyone can help it would be appreciated. Best I can tell is a 68 cruiseomatic it's a pan fill I've not been able to find anywhere to get a dipstick
