Here is the receiving end of things

Thanks Bill. I have sent them an email for a specific quote

Thanks Tom... I do not have a Service Manual but I will post my experience as I go through the adventure in case it is of value to the next guy... I am sure it will be good for a laugh at any rate!!! Thanks to EVERYONE for the input.

Thanks for the quick reply guys!!! Everyone thing I have seen so far says to install the glass in the rubber and then install from the inside and use the cord to install the whole mess together onto the pinch weld. I am looking forward to some "stress reduction" kicking out the cracked junk in there now. This should help saving the exterior Stainless I have reached the age where I should start taking a good Dr.'s advise so I thought I would tray and clarify. This is from Steele....Is it accurate on a '48 club coupe? Steele Instructions.pdf

Hey Guys, I am going to take a whack at replacing both windshields. I will be ordering Glass from Bob's out west along with a new Steele Gasket... Here's my first question for the "The Smart Guys".... How do I get the Stainless Trim in the old gasket out without damaging it? What size does the cord need to be when I go to install the new gasket and windshields?

Resurrecting an old thread.... Anyone have any experience with Bob's Classic Autoglass? I came across a deal online for a pair of windshields and a gasket that is mighty tempting for my '48 Club Coupe. Any input would be greatly appreciated

I am just a bit further along. Disc on the front and most mechanical running gear done. I was stuck with a hatchet job on a Stroker SBC Crate Motor when I got it so I am going with it for now to keep cost down. I will be following your progress so feel free to PM when you encounter the same headaches I have endured... Best of luck with the build
-
You cant beat the cost of the SBC...LOL Welcome to the Site!!! I am in the process of "Ruining" a '48 just like yours

Hi Nick, Happy New Year I have been on here awhile and just stumbled upon this thread and will be following your progress. By the way... BLACK IS INDEED BEATIFUL!!!

Hey Ron- Thanks for the question...This build is probably going to irritate some of the restoration guys so please know that this was a 70s or early 80s Hot Rod, chopped-up mess with a 350 SBC Crate motor when I got my hands on it. It now is a freshStroker I have converted to 12VDC with a Rebel Harness. They are Red Dots from Summit/Jegs...Cant remember. I also modified headlight doors from a doner I had laying around. I also added 1941 Ford Parking Lights (United Pacific FPL4111A) that are working-out very well. I will forward more photos if interested on the front-end.

This may be a silly question to throw in here...BUT How do you get the exterior SS Trim off on the outside of the windshields? I have a '48 that I must do both windshields this winter.
-
Oh Yeah... I woke yesterday morning and a little elf left a SB Stroker in my Sled
-
Ok, OK... I cleaned it out a bit to do the Brake Conversion
