Moving right along...
Glassguy was on site to drop off the new windshield when we arrived today. (he'd tried to deliver it Thursday but he got there after hours)
Glassguy and Bodyguy go way back but hadn't seen each other in a while so it was old home week for a little while after we arrived. [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/grin.gif[/img]
One new tinted windshield.
Bodyguy was hard at work this week getting the replacement cowl filler panel and cowl panel ready to install. Turns out the cowl filler panel needed to be cut and widened a little bit to make it perfect, but that's obviously a re-occurring theme with this project.
The filler was sectioned down the center lengthwise and a filler strip of material was added and everything was welded back together. A little finish work and it will be ready to weld in place.
Bodyguy was in the process of cleaning & prepping the inner cowl for repairs today when Glassguy arrived.
The rust holes will be addressed shortly.
Back-tracking just for a moment to wrap up some previous updates: Two quick shots of how the DS body lines are coming in. Still a little ways to go, but a <span style="font-style: italic">vast</span> improvement over what we started with!
Bodyguy swung by the paint store and picked up a quart of color to verify it was what I wanted, and he said his paint guy was familiar with the difference between the `67 and `68+ color differences and made sure he mixed the correct `67 shade.
I'm seriously diggin' this color. [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/biggthumpup.gif[/img]
(just a quick dip with a stir stick to draw out a sample)

Bodyguy is going to prep & paint the cowl panel shortly so we can see exactly what the product looks like on a panel before he buys in quantity.
More later.
