Jim: I don't recall coming across a kit, so I just ordered them all individually from A/R, Chris Obert, etc. Bit of a pain sorting through, but made a huge difference once they were all in place.

Jim,
Two bolts on each side hold the windshield and allow for small adjustments in angle. Under the cowl there are two brackets which clamp down the gasket. The gasket itself also seats under a lip forward of the dash. You do not have to remove the dash to remove the windshield. Be careful to ease the gasket off the lip all the way across.
Good luck!

Wow you really stripped that car down. I love seeing cars restored like this. You are an inspiration for the rest of us.

I'm trying to stay ahead of the project as in buying parts
I have 99.9 percent of all what I need in my spare room. I do need the exhaust pipe which I will get from Mark to attach to his/my header
I need wheels, just not sure what I want yet

Yes thanks, it down to pure metal, lots of under the paint dents and holes from the PO or who ever did the body work. It will be straight, my goal is to have a street runner and show car
