    Another quick windshield install question

    Do you need to install the dash (in a 67 first) or can it be done after the new windshield is in place? There are two small pieces of metal that need to be screwed in place near the bottom of the windshield and that is my biggest concern. Thanks!

    Front bumper fit on 67

    I am trying to put the new bumpers on my car and I have a different opinion vs. what the parts are trying to tell me. When I bought the car, the front bumper and grill area were not straight at all. I have replaced all those parts and I thought the front bumper would be as easy as the rear...
