Drop of glue will keep windscreen against roof, and not allow the obvious sag when completed with restoration. Love your videos.

This is one of my favorite restorations of yours. The idea of putting those knockoffs is excellent! Great finishing touch!

Now that's one sharp looking 1960s Chevy Corvette, the two tone paint job, the white lettered tires, the mag wheels & the spinners really set that car off😊❤👍

Lovely work on a classic beauty! I never knew about those Dirt Modeler knockoffs. That was a great micro detail to finish it off. Greetings from Switzerland. 🍁👍

Awesome restoration! My dad had a 59 corvette when I was a little boy. It looked a lot like that. It had side pipes on it. And when he’d start it, I’d get intimidated/ scared.

Beautiful work on the car Danny. It really looks great. I don't think they would have put a black interior in a red car. Usually red or tan. I'm not saying they don't exist I'm just saying a black interior is not going to sell a car.
