Am I crazy for doing this on a 65 Barracuda ?
My car is finished . Had to change the windshield as it was delaminating all over. I have a new tinted and shaded one but didn't use it. I used an original one that I had that was in pretty nice condition and thought it looked better on this project.
Bought a new rubber gasket but I had to fix it. The more repop parts you can keep off your car, the better. Gasket looks like it wasn't installed right but that wasn't the problem. The outer edge was made wrong.

Might paint stripes on it, but haven't decided yet. Probably have less than 1k in this " preservation " Feel good that I left as much original metal in the car and have as many original parts as I could. I'll take an original part with blemishes over an aftermarket part.
