Alright man! Looking great!

KIC · 09-16-2011, 01:47 AM

Well it keeps moving along...the interior is looking so nice...

Was supposed to get the new windshield in, but the installer got rained out. Scheduled for tomorrow. Also got in the new window rubber for the rear cargo doors

KIC · 09-19-2011, 11:44 PM

Well I set up to have the new windshield installed, made sure they knew what year and type of glass it was. They said they would send an experienced installer. I even had two new windshields installed in my other vehicles at the same time. When it came time to do the Jimmy, he looked at it and walked away and left.

I didn't want to make a big deal about it since I don't want somebody who isnt 100% doing it. Working on a plan B.

c.brown · 09-20-2011, 08:50 AM

looking good!

dthela · 09-21-2011, 01:42 AM

good job!

KIC · 10-06-2011, 12:50 AM

So far plan B has cost me $175.00 and the "expert" hasn't installed it yet. Can't afford a Plan C. Considering making the thing a dang convertible....with a good pair of sunglasses...

KIC · 10-15-2011, 11:24 PM

10-day update..still no windshield. Even the town "expert" wants to have 4 people there to install...and it ain't happened yet...bummin' me out over this stupid windshield issue.

dthela · 10-16-2011, 05:44 PM

i spent 4 hours just trying to get the gasket on the glass and gave up!!!!! send them to me when they come! lol

KIC · 10-16-2011, 05:53 PM

It seems the quality of the gasket really makes the difference. I bought mine from LMC and the first guy that walked away didn't like the gasket. After he left we tried to get the gasket on and couldn't do it. But I also have the chrome trim. The 2nd "expert" said he had to order his own or he wouldn't do it. So I guess I wasted $40.00 on the LMC gasket.

Now...if I could only get the freakin thing installed.

dthela · 10-16-2011, 10:41 PM

gasket had a slot too small for glass to fit in, and was very stiff, i have to order another one too!

KIC · 11-16-2011, 09:39 PM

Finally got it installed....woohoo....one small step in the great big picture...one big leap in the daily grind....

**Corts60** · 11-17-2011, 01:00 AM

Come on now, you can't just say you got it installed and not post any pictures...

**Captainfab** · 11-17-2011, 02:11 AM

I agree.....and we need to know where you got the windshield rubber that fit.

OKAY..finally got some pictures and I will have to call the installer to find out the who-what-where of the new gasket. I know my first LMC was crap.

KIC · 12-07-2011, 02:44 PM

Hey guys
I finally found out the brand of gasket the guy used that worked. He said that it is the best one that is used by commercial installation companies. It is called PRECISION BRAND gasket.

Thanks for the info. That is the same brand that most guys here on the forum say is the best brand window rubber/gasket to get.

KIC you have a part number? I have the website but it's seems to be a generic front page, no way to search for parts with out calling.

KIC · 02-15-2012, 12:19 PM

Boy...sorry it took me so long to realize I never posted the information. I have been working out of town every week and just seemed like I never got caught up. Home for 2 weeks, so here you go:

PILKINGTON
DW00587 GTNPL1

Production Order #
B000007 HB G 10

Still trying to get gasket number.

**Corts60** · 08-30-2012, 06:15 PM

Anything new buddy?

KIC · 12-29-2012, 06:27 PM

Cord, nothing going on. The thing is at a stand still. Money is too tight. Trying to figure out how to finish it, but the priorities seem to knock it lower and lower.

Here is one of my "Grand" priority:

KIC · 10-26-2013, 10:31 PM

Starting a little more work after a long break. Hoping to actually paint this puppy real soon. Actually bought the lower color paint. One step closer.

kikkegek · 10-27-2013, 04:33 AM

Cool! What color?

KIC · 10-27-2013, 11:46 AM

The original color scheme. White and the dark green bottom. I am not painting the roof the original dark green due to Arizona heat factors. But my Dad painted the roof white after moving here in 1960, so it has had a white roof all my life until hit just faded off from the sun and sitting around. . The closest I could find we was either the Centauri Green 7666 or the Delta Green – 41792 and using Olympic White 8269. We are going with with the Delta Green:

KIC · 10-27-2013, 12:37 PM

Here is a cool link for paint colors: http://paintref.com/cgi-bin/colorcod...?ditzler=41792

Just pick the manufacture and the year(s)

I am not sure if my original green was Hemlock or Delta, so I went with Delta since it seems to have a little more "pop"

KIC · 01-04-2014, 09:56 PM

Still getting a little closer. The body work keeps getting better and better... finished the repair of the rear tail light. Hoping to have it painted by the end of the month.. and how many times have I said that ...??
