My 56 Chevy HT Progress

Thanks to Gary’s help, the windshield and rear glass are in, although I still have to install the stainless. My hands are still puffy from slapping the glass down!

EXCELENT! Folks, if you need help and don't have your location posted in your profile, people can't assist you if they are close. All the more reason to include it.

Glass makes a HUGE difference! Great progress.

AM I looking at this correctly that the rubber trim at the bottom of the windshield has the groove for the stainless? Like the stainless should have gone in first as it's near impossible afterwards???

The upper stainless has to go in the rubber seal before the windshield goes in. The lower stainless goes on after it's installed.

Thanks for keeping me straight!

The windshield channel that Dick had actually had a longer 'groove' in it for the upper stainless than necessary, so it does go a bit beyond the stainless (but not all the way around the rubber channel).. If you are seeing what appears to be the 'groove' a bit below the bottom of the upper stainless, you may be seeing some of that slit

Made a little progress on the 56 - installed the stainless around the windshield and rear glass.

It looks good Dick... and the gray tint glass looks great with the black paint...
