Hi all,
Last summer, someone backed into the roadster while parked and the front end took damage.
Since it was going to be down for repairs, I'm trying to restore it some through the process. Repainting and body work to the entire front end and front doors (parts of the rear was painted right before I bought it). Also refinishing trims.
My body shop has tested my patience as I dropped it off the week of Christmas last year. We're in month 10 of a job that should have taken 2-3 weeks. I've known these guys for 2 decades and they're giving me a good deal so I'm trying to keep it cool, but I miss this thing!
They are almost done, and now I need to find someone that can re-install the windshield. I bought new rubber, stainless trim and had it polished so I want to ensure it is re-installed correctly. The guys are hesitant to do it, and I don't want them to mess it up.
Does anyone have any recommendations in the SF Bay Area for a windshield installer for these cars?
Thanks!

Silver Lady is looking good. Too bad about the hood. Paint job was on the list when I owned her, but the Blue Lady fell into my lap. I had to scratch the 2000 itch and am glad I did. Still miss that one though. She's a good one.

I like it a lot. The silver body and black wheels combo is perfect. What wheels are those? Not Rota RB I think. Did you have those set when I picked up the rollbar from you last year?
