Forgot to get pictures of the windshield post finished. I just tac'd on the top piece cause it was getting dark and my aunt was home. I don't like to make alot noise when she gets home from work so I called it a day.

Got some tips from WES, stop by the paint shop to pick up some items. i got some stuff that stops rust and corrosion and weld-thru-primer. good stuff work like a sharm. haven't tryed the rust stuff though, tomorrow.

Nice work!

Looking good alex...

Looking great Alexis. Glad to see that you took my advice.

Every little thing that we can do to preserve these trucks a little longer is worth while doing. You are doing a great job and the extra time that you are taking now to insure a great restoration will be paid back ten fold knowing you did the job well, once you are done.

alex i think thats pretty cool how you just jump in with both feet and do it...looking awesome man! oh btw im going tomorrow to look at a blazer (4x4), if everything goes as planned i could be in the blazer family some day soon

Thanks guys. Had to use the restroom at home so I decided to post what I got done in the morning. Finished the fron top part of the windshield, should be finish with the rear today also.

67cst - Are we talking about that green one that pretty much all original for 7 G's? If so, you better jump on that. Looks clean from the photos. Blazer are something else IMO. Keep up posted man.

That's damn nice work Alex, especially for someone that doesn't have a whole lot of experience at welding. Keep it up!
