Absolutely fantastic build - the quality and attention to detail is off the chart and she sure sounds fantastic. I was hoping to see a little burn out!!
those back glasses are fun . i fought the one in the 56 for a week before discovering there are 2 different rubber seals. the reproduction glass seal wont work with the stock glass. you get it about 70% in then it would lock up.
looks good , i know your getting excited now :)
You are right about the back glass giving fits. I did not install the glass did not want the headache I had a mobile glass guy do it. The Windshield went in easy only took about 15 min, but the back glass gave them fits. They were about to give up until I told them if you break the glass its on me. I will get another one. I did not have the stock glass so its all reproduction stuff. After a tough fight they got it in there with no damage to the glass.
spent a week on it. got the right seal and it fell in place in about 15 min . the repro glass is just a tiny bit too big. takes a bunch of dawn soap to get them to slide in . got an old nasty slick rope for them .
Every shop needs a jumbo bottle of Dawn soap. Good for every kind of lube on soft parts, i.e., getting rubber parts to seat, vacuum fittings, and oh by the way - works pretty good with hot water on cleaning up stuff you get back from the machine shop - blocks, heads, cranks, etc. It's also good to wash up the hands (who would have thought?)
Word of advice - get you own bottle and DO NOT borrow mama's (ask me how I know this?)
