    Went to a junk yard and got some amazing deals. Found a perfect dash pad (no cracks at all!), perfect medallion grill, metal sail window covers, a floor shift column, a perfect sport lamp switch, very nice Red comfort weave panels and so much more! Spent all the money I had on me... can't wait to go back!

    Finished up changing color of door panels I picked up on ebay, took all the chrome foil off of the trim and painted it. Used Duplicolor chrome paint and it turned out pretty good.

    Got the rest of the windshield trim off. Just how much silicon caulk should be around the outside of the glass? There was a boat load. Project coming along nicely. Waiting on the floor pans from Joe and Patti.

    Toss it. Unless new, not worth re-installing. I think you can get a new one for $175.

    Consider using some glass polish on the rear while you have it out.
