    Frank, bringing the door glass to the Stampede, so maybe he could have it installed by the time he goes home.

    Earl, no need to bring the glass. Frank had a NOS glass and brought it with him today. We got the glass, side marker lights, trunk lid weather stripping, hood hinges, hood and a short list of other parts detailed and installed today. We also spent a lot of time adjusting the doors and fenders. My carpet came in today and the new seatbelts came in yesterday...but like I been telling myself, some things can wait until next week before being installed.


    Frank- Thanks again for all you help getting me back together...and not breaking anything I needed

    I guess if someone had to break your door glass, at least be glad it was someone that had a NOS glass to replace it...:yup:

    Thanks for lunch at Baby Janes...(y)
