I’ve found your project. I’ve been following and as of now on part 12. Your ability and craftsmanship are outstanding. I’m really enjoying your series. I personally did a body off restoration on my 1971 big block t-top. As you know people say they restored their car, but most had other people or shops do the work. I restored mine by myself with a little help from friends. Of course that was 26 years ago. Now I’m 76 years old now only with the memories. I restored per NCRS, which states the way it left the factory. It took 2.5 years and scored a 96% score. Like I said be proud of your work, you deserve it. Thanks for sharing
He used a primer and modern adhesive. Makes for a stronger bond. He put some rubber blocks at the bottom of the window to keep it from sliding down. I don’t think there were any spacers for height. I think it’s actually a little high because the wiper hits the hood now.
@@garrettworks346 Thanks - Sorry to hear the wipers are rubbing. Seems weird that there would be so little tolerance. Do you still have the wiper door or a later hood? I’m looking at installing glass on my 71 in the next couple weeks, so I need all the advice I can get! Hope your’s is running well.
Yes, the factory seats suck. I installed Corbeau A4 seats. Base cut down 1”. I first tried the Corbeau brackets but the seat sat too high in the car. I bolted them directly to the floor pans. I cut out and filled in the seat Beale pocket since I have harnesses.

Thank you! I appreciate the comments. I don’t think I would have the skill to do a resto to the NCRS standards. That’s hard to do! Good work!
Nice work.
Thank you
Thanks for all the windshield prep video. What did the guy use for glass to metal adhesive and spacers? Any info is appreciated.

@@thedrivewayC3 it’s a ‘76 so no wiper door. It is running awesome so far. I need to get the next video put together.
What seats do you have in the car, and what seat brackets did you use?
Looking to replace my 76's seats because there is no support when cornering
