Here we go...

Well, since I mentioned that I'm going to write more....here goes! I'm still currently working on the bus. A few problems arose when I started taking out the windshield. Mind you, this is a 43 year old vehicle. As I started cutting away the rotted rubber, water started streaming out! This rubber was like plastic it was so hard! I think I got enough out to start pushing the windshield out. Nope! A very nice and large spider crack in the middle! So, another windshield and another expense! Once it is out, I check to see how bad the rust is...
It looks like swiss cheese! Those black areas are holes! Luckily, I found a replacement windshield well. Unluckily, I have to find a guy to weld it in!

All in all, it is going fairly well, but if I had to do it all again, NO CHANCE IN H*LL!!

    Yep that rust around the windshield is crucial, i have some around mine. we cracked our windshield in two places, but we still left it in for now because it isn't too bad. We got a leak around the windshield though, that area is bad for rust. a huge pain is if u have bay windows~ those are hard to get in & out

    I like your blog! Are you still going to Bear Paw Lake Fishing Resort? I checked it out on line. It sure looks nice.
    Keep it up
