Re: [gremlintime] Re: old windshields vs. new, pulling old...

["Fredrick Burns" <fburns@xxxx>]

The Grem is a 74 at the wreckers...under the hood has been stripped, the
grill is gone...i got the front bumper and the fenders..the fenders were
damaged but i need the top sections which are rust free so my body guy can
cut and weld into the fenders on the blue car...after i get the door glass,
the quarters and the hatch glass there isn't much left..i even want my body
guy to go out and cut the quarter panels, which are pristine coz the car was
rust proofed originally...the passenger door is in pretty good shape, rear
seat is in fine condition, much of the dash is still intact (tan colour),
rear bumper is shot.

As for the hornet, I will go back and take another look for you...it is a 4
dr SST the fenders look good from the outside....i will have to open the
hood again to look for the usual rust on top....it was raining and i only
took a quick peek at the car as I was focused on getting a
windshield....stay tuned!
