Removing windshield / rear window, 355?

Nick, your post was very helpful, thank you and others that have posted.

I just took a good look at this. No way to do the job right without windshield out. The gasket lays on the paint and no way to hide the tape line and get a good edge that won't peel. Hopefully just new trim and gasket and not glass.

The rear window is different and I think we could pull the rubber down enough to hide a tape line.

Much more disassembly needed for a bare metal respray but I'm leaning in that direction. With a full motor rebuild and totally restored interior, I think the exterior deserves the same treatment.

The shop owner will look at the car soon and if we can agree, I'll start ripping and tearing to get the rest disassembled and the car to him come fall. I'll also remove the front suspension and build a dolly cradle for the front.

I'll pull the rest out the engine bay also so that can get refinished in black.

The car has the entire interior (less carpets and headliner) removed along with the engine.

Nick, did you remove the side glass? (Quarter glass)
