Thanks again. Great detail where most other channels just do it.

[@HotRodGuyGarage]

Trying to cover the details, hope it helps.

[@francismcdonaldjr3188]

Another great video Russ, step-by-step it's getting there,with the glass in there it sure looks great,looking forward to the next video. God bless and peace out

[@HotRodGuyGarage]

Thanks for watching, I'm trying to cover as much as I can of the process so everyone can follow along.

[@dave-uf8ir]

Even me lol 😊

[@dave3156]

Nice to see you being able to work on the '65 again. Looking forward to seeing the finished product. Thx!

[@HotRodGuyGarage]

I am too! We're getting there.

[@ding7856]

Looking better and better, enjoyed the video.

[@HotRodGuyGarage]

I'm trying to cover as much as I can in these videos, hopefully it helps.

[@MartinMonette-gk9uc]

Wonder if person who hacked fixed this car is watching this series

[@terrytackett2403]

Another great video, Russ. I feel like I learn something new each time I watch one.

[@HotRodGuyGarage]

@@terrytackett2403I appreciate that, I'm trying to cover as much as I can of this stuff in hopes it helps someone

[@edwardmaney3453]

Looking real good, great video on installing front and rear glass.

[@HotRodGuyGarage]

Hoping the details help someone with their own restoration

[@jeanlawson9133]

Toughest wind shield I ever installed was a 1949 Chevy Car two piece wind shield..... And I installed a lot over the past many years..... Your videos are on point and well displayed.....

[@HotRodGuyGarage]

Those two piece windshields are a nightmare!

[@KnoxHouse-id7hm]

Not bad at all. Can't wait to see it when its finished!

[@JosephPercel]

Perhaps the owner came into some $$$.

[@HotRodGuyGarage]

That would be nice

[@HotRodGuyGarage]

Gonna push along as much as I can

[@ApesterA]

Awesome tips on so many fine details. Thank you for sharing as usual!

[@HotRodGuyGarage]

I'm trying to cover everything I can in these videos.

[@criticaltemperature3343]

Brings back memories of when I did my 65.

[@HotRodGuyGarage]

Fun stuff for sure

[@pauldarderi3560]

Time consuming work but you get it right saves doing things twice nice progress it's a pity that the glass is in that condition I guess it matched the rest of the car when you got it.

[@HotRodGuyGarage]

Absolutely, it doesn't look to bad back in the car but far from perfect

[@robertwernsing4566]

Excellent video can't wait until next one!!

[@HotRodGuyGarage]

Thanks for watching, more to come!

[@Alanpm176]

I learn something with every video you put out. Thank You Russ.

[@HotRodGuyGarage]

Glad it helps!

[@bryanaisenbrey7188]

I wish someone would do this level of detail for late 60’s Mopars. This is always left off of the other restoration videos. I like details!

[@HotRodGuyGarage]

Most of this should be fairly universal so hopefully it will help

[@randyedwards3244]

Lots of great tips Russ, hopefully I can use them in my "Afterlife!"

[@HotRodGuyGarage]

No problem, and I feel that

[@genehunsinger3981]

Cool,more content!

[@HotRodGuyGarage]

I've been building a little stash for you guys to see early

[@jasone3166]

All your work on this car makes me appreciate how much work goes into building millions of cars from the factory. I know the cars didn't come out perfect and they have tools and procedures to make it quicker and more eficient, but man, there is a lot of fiddley detail work that goes into a car. The only stationary piece of glass in my '28 Pontiac is the rear window, for which I have a new seal, much like the ones for the mustang, only much smaller. I will be applying the techniques you showed here when I install that window. Looking forward to what you have to say about weather proofing the roll-down windows, as I have 7 of those. including the front window, although that is a roll-up.

[@HotRodGuyGarage]

I often wonder how they pumped out so many

[@RetroAnachronist]

Good to know about the glass. I better get it out of my Comet, sooner than later.

[@HotRodGuyGarage]

Absolutely, weld splatter and grinding sparks kill glass

[@nikonhckr]

Thanks for the tips on the back glass. My 70 uses the rubber gasket and I've had a guy remove the back glass and reseal it twice and it still leaks.

[@HotRodGuyGarage]

It's always a gamble , I've seen them put in dry and never leak, seen them sealed and not leaks and then others that pour like the Titanic

[@CasperthefriendlyG10T]

I can see clearly now the glass is in, I can see all obstacles on highway, there will be no dark clouds and more Daisy, It's gonna be a fine, fine bright shiney Stang!

[@HotRodGuyGarage]

Thanks Paul

1972...Johnny Nash. Classic! I was 13 and their was this girl across the street named Lorraine. I couldn't stand her! That summer her parents sold the house and moved away! I'd sing, I can see clearly now, LORRAINE IS GONE! HE HE HE...😅

[@robertalshamma-oo3sh]

I appreciate learning about all those details, like the stip caulk in the widow rubbers, that make the job right. Thanks

[@HotRodGuyGarage]

Trying to cover everything I can in these videos. In hopes it will help someone

[@DonaldDolph-ob8yv]

The devil's in the details and it was good to show these steps. I learned from this video, good instructional! As far as the windshield being reused, I think I would have replaced that front glass, but cost parameters do dictate and this car has much invested already. I'm guessing the windshield glass is around $400? Thanks for the '65 update, much appreciated. 👍😎

[@HotRodGuyGarage]

I'm trying to cover all the details, glad it helped. The windshield was in way better shape then the original back glass

[@I.Live4oldcars.prospecting]

Awesome job Russ. Very tidy and well done. Merry Christmas to you and Daisey and family.

[@HotRodGuyGarage]

Merry Christmas to you and your family as well!

[@kgroombr]

Makes me wish I had an old Mustang to work on.

[@HotRodGuyGarage]

Definitely could, they made a million:)

[@peterpann9619]

Merry Christmas and God bless.

Merry Christmas to you and your family

As always it is looking awesome!

[@HotRodGuyGarage]

Appreciate that!

[@charliewilliams9811]

Taut is an adjective that is most often used to refer to something that is pulled tight, like "a taut rope," or is bulging or filled to capacity, like "taut muscles." Taunt is a noun and a verb that refers to teasing or making fun of a person.

[@HotRodGuyGarage]

Correct sometimes the wrong word comes out (more on that later)

[@roberthirshfield3571]

Yeah I have to do this to my 71 fastback the rear glass leaks

[@HotRodGuyGarage]

They also sell a flowable sealer if you know the location of the leak

[@NathansMoparGarage]

​@@HotRodGuyGarageWhat is it called?

[@HotRodGuyGarage]

81713 permatex is easy to get

[@garysimonson9593]

That roll of mastic is the stuff that was used by Ford to install tail light lenses in some '70s Ford cars. I've got some NOS lenses for mine that came with the same mastic.

[@HotRodGuyGarage]

They used it a butyl rope in a ton of places

[@tint661]

My friend has been working on a 68 Camero. Who ever put the rear window in his car used black silicone sealer. Well you know the headache we had trying to put the trim back on that rear window. Razor blades and a lot of curse words. He wouldn't tell me who he had put the window in. Maybe it was him, LOL

[@HotRodGuyGarage]

I've seen that before

[@criticaltemperature3343]

@ approx 28 min. Letting the gasket relax. I do commercial refrigeration for a living. The replacement door gaskets are wrapped up a bit for shipping in smaller boxes. I soak them in hot tap water to help them relax from shipping as most have an accordion section and a magnet to make the seal. Or a heat gun if it they cool too fast. I wonder if that would work for your gaskets instead of heating the entire shop. I bet a 5 gal pail 3/4 full of hot tap water would work just fine.

[@HotRodGuyGarage]

Could had done that also

[@DarrenTONeill]

I bought a Volkswagen Golf one winter. I thought the windshield was frosted up. Turns out, when they media blasted the car to repair front end damage, they didn't protect the windshield or headlights. Young and inexperienced, I bought it anyway. I had the windshield replaced later and just left the headlights the way they were.

[@HotRodGuyGarage]

Seen that before too, people think glass is indestructible

[@samuelayers3429]

Lots of labor intensive stuff going on. Pretty sure all the weather stripping is crusty on my '66! 😬

[@HotRodGuyGarage]

@@samuelayers3429 it doesn't take long for weatherstripping to go down hill

[@kurtvanluven9351]

Where my rubber is ruined. Around all 4 doors. And the rubber goes outside the window along the bottom. Looks like it is riveted with a thin metal strip. Fun!

[@HotRodGuyGarage]

Sounds no fun

[@michaelkamp3350]

Any updates on the LS ford engine?

[@HotRodGuyGarage]

@@michaelkamp3350 yes, I've been waiting on parts to come in for a month now, supposed to be delivered Monday

[@ravens101100]

Restoring a car takes a lot of work

[@HotRodGuyGarage]

Absolutely, tons of work and even more to do it right

[@SM-vs4ro]

This far into it, it’s a shame not to go all the way. What’s a few extra grand at this point.

[@HotRodGuyGarage]

Agreed

[@barfoonisland2003]

Didn''t this Mustang originally have the chrome molding instead of the rubber you installed ?

[@HotRodGuyGarage]

The chrome goes over the rubber seal

[@NathansMoparGarage]

Lots of time consuming work

[@HotRodGuyGarage]

You are absolutely right, this is a time-consuming process.

[@NoremacOktik]

No shortcuts or hacks.

[@HotRodGuyGarage]

Definitely try not too
