Great looking car you've chosen there mate & a cool idea turning it int a Rosco replica!
Good luck with it & keep us updated with plenty of photos.

And remember, take one job at a time & enjoy the build.

The seller contacted me today saying that the windscreen finally arrived from Miami to his home in New Mexico and will be fitted this Friday. All that is left then is for the car to be shipped!!

Looks a good job Danny.
And the fella in the picture has a Mopar t shirt on.
Good sign he's passionate about them whether he is the present owner or the glass fitter
