    Thanks guys!  I don't know if I would call it "scared" ken, more like a great respect!   :eek2:  Took her in Thursday morning to get the front & rear glass & stainless installed.  They called right after and said the women I talked to last Monday forgot to order the windshield!   :banghead:  I politly said no problem, when would I be able to pick it up?  She said they would have it Friday morning and they would have it completed by noon.  Guess what, the installer threw his back out and couldn't finish it.  And now I have to go out of town again next week so I will have to send someone over to take her home for me.  Anyone interested?   :burnout:  Anyway I should get to get it home and do some more work next weekend.  Oh they did get the rear glass in before he injured himself.

    :iagree: It is easy to do. You just put the butel or sticky seal on the car body and have a helper help you put the glass in place. You only get one chance at placing it. It is not hard to line up at all. Put on your moldings and wiper blade and it is done.

    Husker I saw you had 4 wheels attached to the shell and was able to roll it around.  What points did you use?  Thanks.

    ambitions2,
    I used the K-member mounting bolts as my front mounting point and on the rear I used the 4 holes that the front springs mount to.  I made my casters using Farm Boys pictures from his 73 Cuda restoration as my pattern.  I bought the rubber wheel casters at Tractor supply for around $200.  Here are some pictures of mine.  They worked great!

    I think your a little too willing!

    Oh yea, I ordered my new 15X8 & 15X7 road wheels yesterday from Summit.  That should allow me to put some more meat on the rear, I am positive it is going to need it!   :burnout: :burnout: :burnout:
