B-12 ROUND WINDOWS
« on: April 06, 2007, 07:37:57 am »
I AM STARTING TO AQUIRE PARTS FOR MY RESTORE.  WE HAVE THE ROUND WINDOWS ON OUR BUS, CAN THESE BE CUT BY A GLASS GUY OR DO I NEED TO FIND A SOURCE?  ALSO HOW MUCH FACTORY BONDO CAN I EXPECT TO FIND? WHAT ARE YOU DOING TO PREP FOR PAINT, SANDING/SANDBLASTING?  THE WIRING HARNESS IN OUR RIG IS IN PRETTY GOOD SHAPE BUT STILL OLD ARE MOST PEOPLE REBUILING THE HARNESS FROM SCRATCH? ANY ADVICE WELCOME. THANKS, BOB

I think on the body you will find a lot of lead and bondo if I'm not mistaken.  The rigs I've seen have quite a bit, even in original condition.

You can defineately get a glass shop to cut them, the only differance from the originals is that they were tempered glass and not the new type safety glass.
Good luck on your restore.

My early 1953 has lead instead of bondo but I think it's all bondo after that and from what I've seen the newer the machine the more bondo they used. Good luck on the rebuild.
