    Congrats! It's starting to actually look like a car again!

    Hey Bean,

    Mind sharing the source of the new windshield? Assuming you're happy with it and it doesn't leak, that is...

    I need a new one also. Although Titus was present, it's not his fault. It's BR's... Picked up a rock chip on the birthday BBQ run in May, and it's now spreading across the window.

    PM if you'd rather. Thanks!

    No leaks... not that I'd find out anyhow being sans top.

    I'll PM you the details later this evening. I'll have to find that damned website again. But I can tell you they did an awesome job and the glass is great!

    Also, if you can show up at their location, they'll likely drop some of the price too!

    The dimpling on the hood, does that make the car go faster? Like on golf balls?

    No... but it'll make the previous owner run faster when I find them and kick 'em in the nuts for leaving the car out during a hailstorm.
