When you drive it for the first time and start rowing gears you don't want to stop.
Driving it to work. I really genuinely enjoy driving this car, and the 200r4 is going to make it so much better. After that, ac, and then as far as im concerned it'll be complete. Sure it needs paint and body work, but eh.
look for 3m window weld,for the bolt in glass i go with the roll that's a ribbon form not in the chalking tube.thats just me I make a mess with it.dont go to big on the diameter either.i usually have the heat gun on hand to make it much more pliable when reinstalling the glass.
Found it online - a roll of 1/4' bead ? Does this stay pliable and can it be removed? Or does it turn extremely strong? Asking, because we'll probably pull the widows back out when it gets the final paint.
While messing with the Blazer my buddy messaged me that since it was nice it was a good time to swap vehicles so we can replace the clutch on the GTO tomorrow. So ran home and swapped them out at my buddies garage, then got home and washed the super dirty girl. After that messed with resetting up the radio some, and finished with prepping the wheels for paint
Dug out the '81 Fisher manual & it calls for 1/4" (6mm) bead of butyl or equivalent around the perimeter of glass inboard of the retaining studs. No product or p/n listed. But to ensure it all seats they list tightening the retaining nuts to 30 to 40 in-lbs (3.2 to 4.6 Nm). I do remember the original stuff stuck to everything when I pulled my windows.
You would have to cut the window back out and spend some serious time cleaning the fresh tar off the window frame. (It is easy to remove when it is old and dried out a real beast when it is fresh.) Best to paint the area before you put in the glass or use something else for a temporary install.
