I ran across a project that did not get finished (right place right time)

Keep in mind you will most likely have to stretch the frame as well..

I don't mind the work,I have plenty of labor,I just don't have a lot of $$$$

Wow, my article is making it's way around! Thanks for posting that for me.

It is indeed alot of work, but not so much that I would discourage someone from doing it. The nice part is, you don't have to do it all in one day. Keys to this kind of job, grind grind grind. You have to have clean base glass to be successful. My car is still rough, but has come a long way since those days. Notice the keyed cuts. This is important if you want a straight body that is also strong.

That body was stashed behind a friend's garage. The garbage men wouldn't pick it up, but I did. Try a boat repair shop for you glassing materials. Stay away from discount chain materials (Walmart, Lowes, Auto smarts etc.)

If you have any questions, ask away. I'll try to help.
