65-66 Correct way to install plexiglass windows?

Branda has some basic instructions posted at their website. I had mine apart few months ago and attached a pic. Not a pretty sight! You may do better looking job than the SA factory since you're not working on the assemby line worrying about keeping up. I used this and a hex drill bit for those hard to get to rivet holes. It also helps to cuss a few times during fitting and installation...It's not a fun job. Good Luck!

You'll still need something to screw your interior trim pieces to, so the tray and the other piece remains. Wait 'til you get to trimming the interior vent panels and locating those cuts! That's when the real fun begins!

Yeah, you'll need some sophisticated equipment- nahh. You'll need an air chisel and and a 14oz hammer.

This in an original, low-mileage 66 GT350, completely unrestored except for an old respray.

Here's a picture of mine after I got it together last month. My original panels were really wavy and a few of the rivet holes broken away. These panels were made by a guy named Kent in El Cajon, CA. I think he makes airplane panels, etc., and are fiberglass not ABS. I heard from another member these are better fitwise than some of the other kits out there, and I agree. I used my original aluminum frames and replaced everything else.

I thought I would mention most all of the original 66 GT350's used rivets in the quarter windows that were black anodize. Sometimes over the years the black is rubbed off or sun bleached away and of course they are not readily available which are just a few reasons why restorers tend to replace them with the generic silver rivets. AMK sells them in a kit specifically for the 66 GT350 quarter windows. The black anodized rivets blend in better then the silver rivets on the black panels IMHO. Bob

 

Thanks Bob. Just ordered them from AMK, part# F-3920. Looks like I'll be drilling these out and replacing...
