Replacing my 67 windshield

After a slip with a screwdriver while working on the windshield wipers I know need a new windshield in my 67. Called the local glass shop and SURPRISE, they ordered the windshield and gasket , had it in two days and came to install it today.

After removing the old one (no surprise) I had some work to do. Surface rust and pitting and about a half dozen pinholes to repair.







After the cleanup, waiting for paint.







Waiting for it's new home.



Where's the best place to buy the Por-15 or similar product?

Mike , there are several versions of Rust killers ya can get in spray cans for a spot job like that. Think I have used one called Zero Rust , you can prime and paint over it okay. Well so far it looks like ya can ,,lol

Looks good Mike, even my 69 which was always kept inside @ the fire dept had issues there.

Looks good Mike.You need a spare pair of hands? Lemme know.

oooooh.....that was bad.lol I'd be minus a cat.

You better look real close !!!!!! One of them cats might be in that Chevy motorhome. Have you been in that Cherry Juice ????

After waiting for eight days to get the Por-15 (UPS crushed the first shipment) I'm ready to get the glass guys back out this week and put the new windshield in.

Lookin good Mike! That should seal nicely......

Scott, here is the rubber parts list link.

It's also under the parts section if you need to find it again.

I was quoted $200-250 for a windshield.  It took a few tries to find a place that would measure and order.  

Not sure on the green, but it seems to be what others here suggest.  It must be subtle.  You can get full tint as well which may be illegal but doubtful it will be an issue.  I plan to get a very light overall tint that fades down or just one light tint overall.  Too dark and it will be hard to see at night.

I would order your own seal.  It's pretty cheap compared to other seals for our vans.

Richard came through for us,,,,,he has warehouses all over the country,,,,,I would never get a clear windshield,,,,the light green ones cut down all the glare,,,,,,

Green tint glass, what Don said.

my glass man here in spokane wa. can get these - I opt for a shaded one (a/c in van) and he sells these for $150.00 + shipping!! He's a wholesaler.

,,,to do it right,,,,,,,,,,,,,you really need to cut out the rust and weld new metal in there,,,,,,Bondo will surely shrink and rust will keep spreading and you will have leaks messing up your wiring under the dash,,,,,,
