Windshield Rust

Surf, I`ve seen a number of suppliers providing the entire front section from the roof to the bumper. You will most likely need a donated section as you say. Good Luck. Bob

Any one know where I may be able to find sheet metal for the bottom of the windshield on a bay window. I need the entire bottom ledge the windshield sits in. Have been looking for quite some time. Probably need a donor bus as I havent found any replacement panels. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Aloha

My '76 Westy had the same problem. My body man took angle iron and cut reliefs in it every 0.5" and formed it up with about a bazillion clamps and MIG welded it all up; then ground all the welds. Time consuming and expensive, but you could never tell now by looking at it and my windshield is now sealed up tight.
