We finally successfully have the new windshields installed! They look terrific. We also got the back window pulled out and put back in with a new gasket. We also had the cracked glass in the louvered door window replaced. Both the gasket and the windshield came from RV Glass Experts, and was installed locally. The glass installer also had to do some fibreglass shaving to ensure a good fit on the windows. Glass work on the old Travcos is not cheap. The cost of the windshield installation, rear window re-install, the rear gasket (including fedex cost from the USA), the door window, was about $1500.00 (this includes 12 hours of labour). The cost does not include the purchase of the windshields. The approximate cost of the 2 sides of the wind shield was $1700.00, in 2009. was a lot of labour needed to remove the mystery grey substance a previous owner had used to attempt to seal the windows.

Wow, you guys have really put a lot of labour into your rig. She is looking very awesome indeed. Have you had any trouble with the old tag in front? Around here (The Ozarks of Arkansas) they would pull you over for that, but not for a missing headlamp, LOL.
In Alberta you do not need a front plate and you are allowed to have a vanity plate/vintage plate there instead :)
She's been a lot of work, thankfully we did most of it ourselves, but she does look great!
