Windshield Ready for Install
The rust around the windshield is fixed finally.
I took this pic before he painted the beige. He had two rust holes to fix and it was basically bubbling rust all the way around the frame. He painted two coats of primer and two coats of beige. There is no way this will rust again.
The windshield will go in today.
Car Started Up
On friday, I installed the shifter, primed the oil, and started the car up. The car has no leaks. The brakes and clutch are bled. The A/C is charged. All that is left is body work and paint stuff.
Salvage Yard Run
I picked up a chrome front bumper. The chrome is in fairly good shape for its age and will be a huge improvement over the painted bumper. I also picked up pieces I was missing for my sliding rear window. As soon as I get them installed, I will be able to lock and seal my rear window the way ford intended.
Exhaust Heat Shield Part 1
I made some mounts for the exhaust heat shield. The old mounts rusted off. They still need to be welded but that is it. I’ll get a pic when everything is installed.

Front Suspension Finished
