I need a hand installing one side window and the windshield. Anyone able to help? Weekday nights or maybe Sat night? It shouldn't take longer than an hour, I already have the rubber on the side window. So most of the time will be on the windshield.

If you can help, name the evening and it's on! :twisted:

Yesterday Wayne came over and helped me put in the rear quarter window. I think i'm going to get some better rubber for the windshield.

Today I brought my engine over to Brian & Kostya. We (mostly Brian and Kostya) rebuilt the heads and got the longblock mostly put together. Thanks for your help, DLK rules!


I also found out that I don't have an 1835, I now have a 1641. I was bummed, but mostly mad at myself for not measuring before spending alot of $$ on 92mm p&c's.

Thanks again Brian and Kostya! :thumbs:
