Where to Start - New Plexiglass

Now that we have gone through the car, it's deciding where to start.    We got out our gloves, buckets and cleaning supplies.  Joe started on the engine bay and I started on the interior.

Joe showed me the finer art of using a SOS pad to remove surface rust.   Since it came from the mid-west, there was a bit of surface rust here and there.    As we took off pieces we cleaned the screws, nuts and bolts.  Can you say "Fun Times".   It was needed and maybe it was not all that fun but the pieces look nice.

While taking breaks from cleaning, we started shopping around for plexiglass to replace the sunvisors and side windows.

Did I mention how expensive it is to buy replacements??   One sunvisor is $35,   We were able to get the tinted glass for $10 and the clear glass for $15.  All 4 windows where less than one sunvisor. 

Joe cut each of the pieces, using the originals as templates.    There were a few mishaps with pieces cracking or just as one was about done, it broke.   But, Joe kept at it and the Bearcat has some new windows.  He did a nice job and they look good on the car.
