Pulled the clip over the weekend to start the final clean, sand, prep of the cowl for paint. Forgot there was a rust spot under the windshield that was hidden by the fender.



Started digging and had to pull the windshield, which was so heavily glued in with urethane that it was broken all to heck by the time I got it cut loose. I never suspected there was a serious issue with this window channel, as it all looked good, but a very talented urethane artist covered it all up while installing the windshield. What a friggen mess this turned into.






I just ordered a complete glass set from Auto city Glass and new dash panel, pad, GM approved wheel opening moldings and other assorted small goods from Camaro Central...ouch.

Mitch: Don't you know you are supposed to just cover all that up, paint it all purdy, then flip it to some unsuspecting newbie?

Wow, too bad that isn't a '67 Chevelle. I've got a perfect dash for one of those.

Lynn, I guess I'm the newbie. I bought it unsuspecting this was an issue 16 years ago.

Lee, yup, heck of a shop radio. Got it for free 30 years ago. Wife says she can hear the bass in the house 40 ft from the shop...

Dustin, I ordered a new dash panel this morning and cut off the glass channel to see how bad the 2 layers of inner/outer cowl was under it. Not good. Major surgery needed here.

Freddie, YES, if I could find a good donor, this would be a walk in the park.

Thanks for the confidence, Tony. I will get it repaired, but it sure is a setback I wasn't expecting.
