I had an appointment to have the windshield installed today, and the guys who came out felt like they needed to bring out the "big dog" to do the install since this was a "showy car" and did not want to take any chances on screwing it up. I told them I appreciated their honesty and obviously I was on no hurry on getting it installed.
The rest of the jambs are almost done. I am having issues with the LH lower fender patch lining up, it is just not shaped right so I am going to have to tweak the area because the bottom corner of the door comes way too close to it. I got the LH door lined up really well and with the new USA made repro door latches I can close the door with one finger.
The car can be driven out of the garage for wetsanding. This is probably the first time the car has moved under its own power for 30 years. The carb from my 71 chev pickup doesn't like to make the poncho idle real well. Just need to get my choke pulloff ordered from cliff and the pontiac's own q-jet is pretty much ready to go.
