Professionally Installed Glass On Your Classic Car - CALL A GUY IT'S WORTH IT!

Dear Lord, give Dan more subscribers, cause I can watch him restore ish cars till the day I die. I love the fact that he's not giving up on the old bessies, like many have done. When you see something that makes sense, it's only appropriate to support it.

[@DavidMartinez-yi8kz]

Dan, you should have spray bombed the top of the dash while the glass was out

[@thomasparker5208]

I love all the cool little things about old cars, like the accessory parking parking brake warning light on the trifive's.

[@kentmckean6795]

If your car came with the factory fender mounted indicators (as yours does), the dash indicators were taped over and no bulb was installed. You can easily remove the tape and put a bulb in if you want. If your LEDs are too bright, just put a resister in-line and you can select any brightness based on the resistor size. Soak your bumper mounted turn signal socket in vinegar for 2 or 3 days and the vinegar will dissolve the rust. Apply some grease to keep it from rusting again and you should be good to go.

[@DDSpeedShop]

Sweet thanks man!

Kudos to Jim & Co. for playing along.

[@mekinohavala987]

A little tip for the future, a little bit of baby powder on any new windshield gasket helps the glass go in like butter. 25 years of installing and that trick has helped me out more than a few times. You guys are awesome! Keep it up!

[@adambassador7727]

Love the back and forth discussion about the little details...how it's a sealant that holds it in, how rust commonly occurs in specific places, but how how this one is in good shape comparatively... Nothing like sharing a little know-how. Great work!

[@DDSpeedShop]

Yeah super solid car. Nice change of pace haha

[@markchapmon8670]

Recently had our 1990 Buick Century Coupe painted. Had the original windshield pulled before she was painted and a new glass installed afterwards. Brightened it up, allowed for a fresh factory looking tint strip and the trough the painted for more long term protection.

I havnt installed B body windshields, but found A bodies to be difficult. Yes it is wise to get an expert to install windshields, lol it can be costly to break a few windows practicing/ learning & better chance of no leaks.

I had the same issue with the park lamp on my 54 chevy. I was able to pop the socket out and replace it with one off the shelf of my local O'Reilly's. I soldered mine in, and its been working like a champ for a couple years now.

[@billyduffany3387]

looks great under the hood

[@wreckedrebuild2142]

Set a lot of windshields back in the day using the locking gasket. We used a product called glass slip. It was made specifically for rubber gaskets. I swear it looked and smelled just like Gojo hand cleaner. Glass cleaner dries pretty quick to use on gasket sets. Some gaskets used a lock strip, had all kinds of different size tools to do them also. Hook and lacing tools were a must have! Glad you were able to find a new gasket because the old rubber would be so non-pliable now it would be hard to put the new windshield in. Glad to see you had a pro do it for you. Yes, patience is required😀 I also did a lot of street rods, pattern cutting flat glass . Those were the days👍

[@Nihilist_Scum]

I absolutely love this car, I cant get enough of it

[@briankinnear7461]

Always good to let the pros do important things like windshields. Looks like many 'little tricks' you need to know. Car is looking really nice. Look forward to the first drive. Stay safe and stay well.

[@malcolmhamilton5200]

Nice glass Mister! Those fender mounted indicators changed to rectangular units the very next year in 69'. The 69' had em' and so did my 78' Cheeseler. You should be proud of that mod you did to save em' and make them light up again. With the reverse lights, again the very next year, 69', Plymouth put them in the rear bumper because they came up with those gorgeous deep recessed all red tail lights....something for the competition to look at......if they could keep up.

Brilliant solution on the turn signals. I love the simple but 100% effective approach. If they’re too bright, you could put some tint on them, and no one will ever be able to tell them from factory.

You can always add a resistor inline with that leg light to tone down the brilliance. Very cool mod!!

Cool you got a nice cheap solution for the indicators. You could always solder a resistor in to dim them down a little.

Yeah thats always an option

[@randomyank7777]

Nice job on the windshield & the signals ! The really nice thing about the signals on the front fenders is that when they don't cancel , due to slight turns like passing , if you can't hear the relay (440), you can still see them on the front & turn them off , manually . Ya , those light emitting diodes are polarity sensitive . Funny thing is that the bulbs aren't , but those are idiot-proofed @ the factory , 1 wire . Definitely a bad trans. switch , you've proven out the back-up lamp circuit . Nice to see it all coming together for ya , Dan !

[@noexpensespentstudios]

Beautiful job on the glass. If you find the LEDs too bright, a bit of spray tint or even satin varnish/lacquer tones them down a treat.

[@David-rx5eo]

On some LEDs you can reverse the bulb to change the polarity. I got some replacements for a 250cc scooter I have and they would not light up unless installed with correct polarity. They fit in the socket either direction. If that is the case with those bulbs then you could change it to have the black as ground.

If the fender indicators are too bright, you could try a dropping resistor on the pos side on each. A good brightness will prob be achieved somewhere between 220 ohm and 1Kohm. 1 watt resistors will probably do.
