Re: Crushing Gumby 71 Shortbed Patina build
After getting the rear glass done I decided it would be a great idea to do the front windshield too.... Bad idea! Trust me, this is a pain in the ass job and really, trying to do it at home is not a good one. I pulled the windshield out because it was not original and I wanted to have all OG glass in the truck. I got a new gasket too just to do the job right.
First step was the lube up the channel where the rubber sits Then I put the gasket out in the sun for almost all day to get nice and warm so it could flex I got some help from the old man getting the rubber on the glass and the rope installed so I could pull it into the window frame. Take your time here and get plenty of dish soap in the rubber lip or you will rip the hell out of the gasket Then everyone got involved with equal pressure on both sides of the glass. I stated to pull in the window. It took a solid hour to get it in and right. Its not an easy job!

Re: Crushing Gumby 71 Shortbed Patina build
Was the motor rebuilt on it or just repainted?
