Arnie was the previous owner of the car.

Don sloped the windshield, cut the drip rails, made the rear window flush, and clipped the front and rear of the car to accept the big bumpers.
A beautiful job! Thank you Don.

After getting the car home (while still in primer), I did some minor prep and took it to a warehouse in Santa Monica to get painted. Drove it to and fro with no glass.
What an experience. LOL
