To get ready for the arrival of the window glass I performed the following:

1. Cut and installed the window run channel in the car.
2. The door glass channels were all cleaned up and painted.
3. The rubber weatherstrip seal that goes in the door glass channel was installed.

I received the windshield last week and the rest of the glass should show up in a couple of days. The screw holes for the windshield hinge on the car were cleaned up with a 8-32 tap. Oval head 8-32 machine screws have been order and should arrive this week. Since I could not find chrome plated screws, I bought stainless steel screws and the heads will be polished to look like the chrome plated frame.

I have the hardware that latches the windshield frame to the body and will need to clean it up a bit and then send it out for chrome plating. I cannot find the hardware that holds the windshield slightly open and was wondering if someone out there could take a few pictures of one on their car so I have a better idea of what I should be looking for in my various boxes of parts.
