  • Let's cut to the chase then cut some lexan and make a windshield out of it for the chopped top Rat Rod Truck. Then later we can use that for a pattern for the glass shop to cut laminated glass. It's a split windshield so we make custom center section metal molding pieces to sandwich the center split together. It's a custom built truck so it deserves a custom windshield.
    Did you know you can use super glue to put together the rubber windshield seal after it's cut to size for a chopped top?
    Also we get a look at the whole truck ... it's awesome!
    For those who like to watch the build!

    Soapy water in a spray bottle helps with putting the rubber in the frame

    Next time you try a window install, lube the rubber with a soapy solution, you'll find that a bit easier.

      Seen them use a soapy spray bottle , but every professional have there own way of installation.

    The Windshield looks fantastic, it does look factory. So would the other windows, if you do them in Lexan Glass it would look amazing with all the windows in it and just make the side windows pull straps. Back window would take about a hour to put in,if you take your time. Next put some black wipers on it with a hand crank "awesome ". Keep up the great work and God Bless you and your family RAT ROD BOB, love you man .can't wait until your next video 🤔 🔥💯💪🏼👍👍🙏🙏✌😊✌

      Similar to the McGuire's, Kit Scratch Out. I use the Scratch Out and now the McGuire's on acrylic (lexan) saxophone mouthpieces that I rework for customers. If you have some scratches, you can lightly sand with silicon carbide wet or dry paper, 800, then 1000, then 1200, finally 2000. Then polish with the plastic polish and voila!
