Going tomorrow to get new quarter window seals put it. Found a good deal at a glass place in Webster. I bought the seals and they are installing them for 75 bucks. I had done my back glass myself but when I tried to do the quarter windows they werent gonna play nice so I decided to get them done a a shop I'll post pictures when it's all done.

Got my quarter windows resealed. They look shaweeeeet. I'll post some pictures later. I also did the electronic ignition conversion thing. I went with the Hot Spark kit from the dude in Austin. It was reasonably priced and a piece of cake to install. Anyone ever tried this brand? Once you get it all in and timed the motor purrs like a kitten.

Yeah. Got a sweet deal. I actually bought them out from under this guys car! He had a really nice 74 Super. He had to put it up on jack stands til his new wheels came in! His bug is actually for sale. I gotta find his number and I'll post it on the classifieds.
