Well, that sucks but I'm glad you got to the bottom of it. Finally, Dave will have some closure!

Yes, I think Dave was as happy as I was with this plot twist. I even texted him a video clip of it starting while I was still upside down under the dash.
That was a seriously defective part - this is the kind of defect that could burn your car and your house down in the middle of the night. It definately affirms my choice to disconnect all the car batteries when not in use.

Yay! Miracles do happen!
The replacement AMD windshield arrived today via truck, packaged in a thick cardboard box, sealed inside with expandable styrofoam, enclosed in a wooden frame, bolted to a pallet, and completely wrapped in plastic with "Do Not Accept If Seal Is Broken" tape all around it. I like whomever packaged this. This was obviously a sarcastic rebuff to my complaints. Well played Mr. Windshield Wrapper, we salute you. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lsC3...nnel=zatoblade Last edited by njsteve; 11-23-2020 at 03:13 PM.

Hey, Steve! Great news, indeed!
No reason to apologize over "less-than-stellar" (to put it mildly) and, in this case, potentially dangerous/lethal repro parts, nor, about do-it-on-the-cheap shipping practices. All that stuff only hurts the industry & our hobby. Why vendors act unconscionably, and, are so short-sighted about their products & services has always been a mystery to me! (Apologies to Fleetwood Mac.) Not only can it damage their reputation, but, of course, their customers rides, and, most importantly, potentially their customers themselves! PS Thanks for the YouTube link! Whatta' hoot!

Here's the updated shot of the dash with the vintage 1972 Mopar tachometer and the Stewart Warner oil pressure gauge, mounted. Feel free to ignore all the dirt and footprints on the carpet. I spent a lot of time crawling under there over the weekend.
