questions about replacing a 1957 3100 windshield

[hplacecf]

hi.

I have a 1957 3100 step side.
I am working on getting it up and running, and am making some progress....

so, the windshield needs to be replaced (numerous small dings and small cracks). the rubber part around the windshield is rock hard (and looks like it might be original).

I am somewhat handy, but not sure if this is something that I am up to.

questions:

for anyone who has done it, how hard is it to do? any suggestions on how to proceed, and lessons learned?

any threads to links where I can find information on this task?

would a regular auto glass shop be able to do it, or is this something left to restorers (or people like us)?

thanks in advance!
