espo Posted November 22, 2020 Share Posted November 22, 2020 Great idea for the rear window repair. I have a forty on the shelf that I built many years ago, so I'll be watching for inspiration to do something with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

59 Impala Posted November 27, 2020 Author Share Posted November 27, 2020 Jim, thanks, I use Amazing Mold Putty by Alumilite to make the mold and I use finger nail resin that I got from Sally's beauty supply to make the part. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
